Tinkling the ivories

How great is kijiji??  P found this piano!  Free!

We rustled up some piano movers and voila!  We can tinkle the ivories till the cows come home!

How much wood can a woodchuck chuck?

With our new combination furnace (wood/electric) we need heaps of wood to get us through the winter.  We ordered some wood, and it's still in logs.  Check it out!

Take a look at the dry wood (almost a full bush cord) stacked at the ready in our basement!

First Day of School

Butterflies in the stomach, unable to eat breakfast, wondering how this day would unfold ... first day of school jitters!  But that's just for me.  S & J were unfazed, hungry and eager to tackle the day.

Fishing for compliments

Fishing on labour day was productive and relaxing!

Glorious summer garden

Lots of blooms in the front garden!  

Taking a break

The boys are taking a break from house work (unpacking boxes in the kitchen), prepping their bikes for this weekend's festivities, and enjoying the gorgeous weather.

Living in the living room

It's beginning to look and feel cosy and homey in the living room now that we have most (not all) of our stuff here.  As you can see, J is exceedingly enthusiastic about it.

The old kitchen

Remember this?  

Which one do you prefer?

Penninsulas from heaven

The last leg of the kitchen construction is complete. There are of course little things like the countertop and the toekick that need fine tuning (ie installation) and the sink and taps will eventually be replaced.  But let's take a moment and admire it, shall we?

Cabinets R Us

Take a look at this awesome kitchen! Upper and lower cabinets are in, as a result of the efforts of P and A. Next up will be the penninsula area and the countertop.
