First, in kitchen related news. Our over range microwave goes in tomorrow, which means final after pictures will be good to go. It feels so nice to have it near completion. Almost as nice as it will feel to clean things up a bit around the house.
Next up? Backyard. Other than the epic backyard cleanup last summer, we haven't done much. We do, however, have big plans. We're getting a patio next week! Three cheers! That will be our first step in the right direction. After that, we're going to whip the lawn in shape, take out one of the raised beds to add a shed and hopefully get something growing in the other. Plus, I'd like to whitewash or paint our porches and any other icky looking wood near the house.
Here's a few pictures from today, just as I started cleaning up some of the beds on the side.
This is the one that will be changing over the next week. Those half-hearted patio stones from the previous owners will be out the door, and our nice new paver patio will take their place.

Yes, that is our lawnmower and some random daffodils that decided to show up.
