March 2016

Spring is here!! The rains keep coming, though, and there was even snow on the hills to the east of town this morning. Still, it's hard not to succumb to the urge to herald the new life coming! The following photos were taken during a stroll around the house.

Art is Up!

We decided to live with our new space for a little while before unpacking our art and treasures.
Sometime around November, we were finally ready. Here are some updated views of our interior.
