Apparently the last owner thought it would be a smart idea to use caulk to patch a hole......

This weather is crazy! I'm loving the thunderstorms though!

My sycamore has a mold issue and those damn beetles are nomming it all up. I went through today and trimmed all the infected leaves off (hoping I didn't hurt it by doing that) and disposed of them via city yard waste.

Nothing to be done about the beetles until I get the grubs managed next spring.

Our patio garden is looking awesome! We had a nice storm just as we were gonna plant that filled all our holes. Thanks to the storms timing (right during Aidan's nap) Dan had to do all of it by himself. Poor daddy! I still got muddy planting 3 of the plants! 😏

The shit you got to look forward to when owning a home......clearing out a clog from the basement drain at 9 at night.....

It's finally happening! I got a truck for Iron Shot Cafe!

It's not much at the moment but with some love and all Dan's skills it'll be a good little food truck!

We have a game plan but I don't wanna give it away! You'll just have to find out as we get stuff done! Updates will span all my platforms but the most up to date will likely be instagram via @ironshotcafe so go check it out and hit follow!

Finally finished with the kitchen update. Mostly.

Try new things!

WTF was he thinking? Motorcyclist nightmare!


Chilling with the car keys while daddy buys all the plants. 3hrs of shopping without a fuss! What a trooper!

I love our plant selection! Can't wait to get them planted!

Dan's hard work! All I did was bring the stone from around the house after digging it up.

I've been silent for a while because we've been getting stuff done....well sorta. More work on the patio garden. Hard when the mate works full time & has Irish skin. 😏

I can't do much because of Aidan with equally Irish skin & his desire to be near me. Can't play with puppy in the shaded part of the yard. Oh no. Too far away from mommy! 😂 I got no one who can (or wants) to come entertain him while I get some yard work done!

Luckily yeaterday Dan had off so he worked all morning (till he fried 😢), I helped during Aidan's 1st nap by trenching the border of the garden....I need to redo (extend) part & go finish it. Then after some dr visits he went down for his evening nap. I went out and finished moving the large stone slabs for Dan to sort as he will for the steps. Even though Aidan woke up he got some daddy time which was nice!

The garden is growing. A boat ton of volunteers this year, including a plethora of persline which I ended up pulling. The only space in the garden for a me only is for beets!

So many projects started right now! Still have work on the kitchen to do and curtains to attend....& as you can see it might be time to clean the studio. OMG it's killing me. 😵
