So that you know I am not dead...

...I will post to say a) I am alive, b) the house remains standing, and c) things are continually being done both inside and out. But I keep forgetting to take pictures, so a several-months-long list of things like:

• expanded garden beds, did some light landscaping
• hours upon hours of scintillating work scraping off old wallpaper to reveal even older wallpaper
• old stuff of finishing painting the eaves on the front of the house
• even older stuff about rerouting gutters
• minor flooring additions to the attic
• repair of a return pipe on the boiler
• storing of lumber and beautiful walnut branches in the basement 
• ... and no doubt much more.

I will take some pictures and write some tales, I promise. Just don't ask when.
