Cleaning  

Cleaning dust (oh the dust) and putting things in spots (and trim, need trim still) but the major mess is gone! Though the pictures feature Ry, we actually worked on this together. I think he liked having a work buddy and I think it was good for me too.

Lathe + Plaster

This time of year I think a lot about light, both figuratively and literally. In an effort to let more light into our row house, we decided to make our normal kitchen doorway a seven foot doorway. Here's the start! And may I just say, lathe and plaster is a pain the ass!

The act of planting asparagus is for a place where one wants to put roots. It takes multiple years before the crop will be ready to eat. I have never remembered to plant asparagus first, but this time, I finally did.
