Dad got the cork flooring laid in our breezeway before we left last weekend, but had not finished the floor trim. My mom painted it, and it was completely installed when we returned. This view is from the garage toward the house...
...and this is from the house toward the garage. It is a tiny, odd shaped space.
The fields front and back of the house, as well as the grass along the driveway was neatly cut. We admired it on the drive from the road up the hill. Dad was busy on the tractor, not only cutting all the grass, but leveling a spot for our new pair of compost bins, which he built out of recycled pallets.
He said that he scared out quite a number of field mice during the mowing, and the neighborhood Red Tailed Hawk noticed. He has been ridding the field of some of the mice over the past week.
Rudy is my new best friend. This is him this morning in the rain...I'm not sure what the display of feathers is all about (probably just saying he loves me back).
The landscapers finally made it out. I have been waiting (rather impatiently) for the lawn to be sown since August. The "Rock Hound" went around, loosening the soil and picking up rocks. The piles you see are the rocks and roots that he picked up...not sure what we do with those!
Nothing more happened with Mom and Dad's house last week. They had planned to pour the basement floor, but the rain prevented that from happening. The logs for their house are to be delivered tomorrow, so they will be busy in the SNOW unloading and doing inventory.
