Updates

Looks like I haven't posted since we bought our house! We closed on April 7th and have really enjoyed living here so far. It's got a beautiful deck and backyard. The previous owner was a master gardener so it's great to have all these perennials pop up unexpectedly. Kirkland loves it because he's got a doggy door now. Though there's not much to see from the backyard and no good windows to look to the front, so he's stuck with barking at the neighbors cats.

The house was turn-key ready so we didn't have to do much to improve it. We replaced the carpet in the upstairs bedrooms & hall, and Tyler & my dad built a small portion of fence so it'd be completely fenced in for Kirky. Other than that, the only other change was Tyler's raised boxes for our veggie garden in the "greenhouse." We got a late start and with our weird spring, we'll have to see how they do. We're definitely no master gardeners!

 The little circle window is in the shower of the main bathroom, and it rotates around to open!
 He got a hang of it pretty fast after using the Pickens' doggy door.

 Still a little chilly in April.
