Small House, Big Work

So, it's that time again. My dissertation work is over, vacation is over, and there's no excuse to not work on the house. This weekend Mom and I took out the very scary, smelly, old carpet from my stairs and hallway. It doesn't look good now, but I hope I'll have updated pictures soon.

Also, I didn't have time for a garden last year, but this year here it is! Again, doesn't look great yet, but when those sunflowers sprout and bloom, it better be awesome!
