My friend Jana and her husband have been working on their new home since the Fall, and I went today to see how they're coming along. They're doing the work themselves--and living in the midst of what's been chaos. But it's finally coming to a place of enjoyment. They still have a lot of work to do, but IT'S FINALLY A HOUSE!
I loved the walls that met me when I walked in--wooden walls that have been painted a soft mossy green, then distressed. This is the "great room", and it feels really great, since they haven't gotten the cabinets in yet, but they're coming! They're scheduled to begin cabinet work in two weeks--so they won't be washing dishes in the bathroom sink much longer. BUT they now have ROOM to spread out! And Jana was so relaxed. She's here at the coffee bar, while our mutual friend Susan (Red) looks on approvingly. Susan helped Jana paint and sand the walls. It looks so good, so fresh and soft!
Later we went for a ride and came upon "the bull"--apparently this big guy finds Red interesting, but he seemed a little intimidated by the buggy today! He's one BIG DUDE! Jana and hubby Morris have quite a spread--something like 400 acres! Lots of room for cows and bulls and buggies to "mud hog" through. We didn't mud hog, but we could have after all the rain we've had!
But today was lovely--warm, blue skies, and good friends. This is "fairy lane"--I swear you can almost see the little fairies flit through the trees, and you can almost hear them laughing and saying, "Catch me if you can!"
Red was driving the buggy, and seeme to have a difficult time getting into reverse! It was funny!
Here's Jana (on the arm of the chair) and Red back inside Jana's little house. Lots of windows, and lots of comfort!
Pictures are out of order, so now we're at the back of the property, where we discover that Varner Creek is out of its banks--the water is high. We park for a while and just listen to the birds and the sounds of a beautiful spring day in the country.
More cows. They don't belong to Jana and Morris, but they range on their land. They seem to find US curious! :)
I loved this beautiful old tree. Bridge to Serenity is a wonderful place with lots of charm and very good energy. It was a restful day, and it felt good to just relax and "be" with good friends. Jana, I love your house and your place, and I'm so glad "the end's in sight". Blessed Be!

Oh Wow...it is so good to see the house, the inside and the land again. Beautiful land, beautiful home, beautiful women, beautiful day!

Oh, the property and the house are beautiful. And the bull looks a bit intimidating.
By the way, it is so funny to read your interpretation of my macros today. Without the context, I can totally see what you saw :0.
We own a video game store, and the photos were taken there!
Everyone look at the "Fairy" leaping across the lane...fourth photo!
Awesome that you captured her, Sheila!:-)
