He's taking Friday off to to start work on our deck, yay! We have to do it in 2 sections though, as money, as usual, is a bit tight this month. I'm sick of worrying about money and bills every blasted month, but guess that's the way things are when you have a new house and an entire yard to do something with. Speaking of yard:
Trees I want
- Lilac (1 dark purple and 1 light purple)
- Magnolia (tulip style)
- Cherry (because pink is so festive in the spring and cherry slushies with Festis Dandelion Apple juice are out of this world)
- Tulip (because I love the leaves)
- Ginkgo (ditto and did you know this species has been around, literally FOREVER?)
- Oak (because our last name is Ek, which means Oak in Swedish, so how can we not have one?)
- Birch (just because they're so lovely)
I'm picking up a bookcase tomorrow that I found on Blocket. Still on the hunt for 3 more of them and an IKEA Poang chair with beech wood and off-white upholstery. You can never have too many bookcases, right? I'm at 10 and counting, and that's not including the ones in the kids' rooms.
