A few weeks ago I had a previous owner of my home pay me a visit. I was so excited to meet them and hear their stories about this beautiful property. They in turn enjoyed what I had done since I purchased the property. I shared a before and current picture of my property with them. I knew I had done alot since moving here but it didn't really resignate until I saw the pictures. I hop you all enjoy the improvement.

I'm so ready to get my hands in the dirt. Just a few more odds and ends to get yet and my flower gardens will be pretty again. One more night of cold and then hoping for some more spring like weather

Each Monday, an 83-mile stretch of river is closely observed by our scientists. The results are carefully analyzed to prepare an accurate count to share with you! Week 3 Sandhill Crane count in the Central Platte River Valley: 69,100 ± 12,000. This number is similar to recent years.

I ordered this stove awhile back. Between the delivery wait time and hook up I was beginning to be a little frustrated. The electrical isn't completed but I was able to get it going today despite that. This front room has been so hard to heat because there is only crawl space under so you know what that means. Right now it is so warm and cozy. My guests are just going to love it🙂

One last flower post before the snow arrives. I have never experienced a growing season this long and dont remember not having to cover flowers to protect them from those early frosts. As I walked around my gardens this weekend I was just amazed by the beauty for the end of October. Up next winter pots ugh.

It's been a long six weeks but the wait is worth it. I'm sure the painters will never want to look at this house again. It was a huge project for them and it took a lot more prep and time than they had expected. Anyway it is done except for a few landscaping repairs and I couldn't be happier. I just love the new color and actually like looking at it now. this color look 133 years old now

We're finally seeing some color. This picture doesnt even come close to the beauty of the color in person. There is no real name as it was a mix I came up with. I have been really nervous about it but am loving it now. This east side will have its second coat tomorrow and will be finished. The shutters are getting painted white and will be added. I am so anxious to get my porch decorated again.
