Our Deck and Spring Flowers

Ever since we moved into our lovely abode, I have wanted to get rid of the awful red painted deck. We decided to take on this endeavor last weekend, not quite realizing the extent of the work that had to be done. Well, I am happy to say that after much hard work, many hours of the pressure washer and my wonderful hubby doing all of it, it is finished! Well, almost. We still have the railing to put back up (a different one of course), and we are extending it. So, in other words, the red is GONE!!! WOO HOO!! We have already received compliments from the neighbors, I don't think they liked the red either. Here are a couple of pictures of the after...And just in case anyone forgot what the red looked like, here is a picture from the back deck, which will be the next project!Other than the deck projects, we have been keeping busy with work, and just enjoying the beautiful spring weather here in Minnesota! My tulips bloomed about a week and half ago. I am so happy that we live where we can grow them, and I actually did it. Here is a rose bud from the new rose bushes, as well. The other didn't survive they winter... At least my tulips survived! I hope everyone else is enjoying spring as much as we are!
Until next time...
