So many favorite photos, it was hard to pick less than 1,000 to post here! This wedding was so filled with love.
Master Bath Remodel Has Begun
Before
Eager to lose that 1980's linoleum!
Eager to lose that 1980's linoleum!
DAY ONE
Removed all decor. Opened wall and ran cable for new, additional electrical outlet.
To avoid studs at inside corner, had to open wall on bedroom side too.
DAY TWO
Cabling complete; outlet tests perfect.
DAY THREE
Vanity, toilet removed.
Remember the tree we pulled out of the front bathroom?
Oh crap! [pardon the pun] I went to link that to the older post and found out I'd never actually posted it. So here's a short video of the tree being extracted from the front bathroom.
Well, no one can say I don't have a green thumb bum.
It was happening here too, but just getting started. Beautiful, ain't it?

Two weddings and a funeral
My favorite photo from Brooke and Corey's Cinco de Mayo wedding.
It was a fun one!
My favorite photo from Koby and Nancy's June 17 wedding.
So much joy and happiness this day, I just don't have words!
My favorite two photos on display at Alice Una'Dia's July 29 memorial.

Don't assume my chicken's gender
Originally dubbed Beyoncé Jr., my chicken had become completely sun-faded in the years s/he sat guarding my front door. I decided it was time to bring color back into our lives, so Lydia and I broke out every single jar of nail polish we had and started painting. After she painted the comb and wattle red, it occurred to both of us - "Hey! This isn't a Beyoncé; this is a boy chicken!"
Behold Henrí. He's transgender.
Front Yard Makeover
45 blocks; two pickup loads.
Vinegar every other day for a week.
Plastic, and then layers of newspapers.
Mulch from the local tree-shredders.
One-third complete!
Got up at 4:30 to beat the heat. Forgot the sun doesn't come up until 6:00.
Got to this point by 7:15.

Big thanks to Bill and Steve for all their help!
