Spring seems to have come a little early to our neck of the woods. It's so wonderful to have the warmer temperatures, even if they are a little too warm for late winter. Sunshine always brings joy and happiness as we look into the garden and see the daffodils beginning to bloom!
The hellebore's are blooming!
The pansies that were planted in the fall, love the advent of spring.
We are in the mist of a little renovation between our kitchen and dining room. My kitchen is small and I've always dreamed of removing the wall between these two rooms. We have hardwood floors and we didn't want to disturb them. So we decided to remove a half wall instead ..all the way to the ceiling! This has opened up the whole area and makes me feel like I have a larger kitchen! It is not one inch larger, but gives the eye more room to roam! Grayden is doing the work, taking his time being very careful as he removes each piece involved. Next we are ordering a quartz top for the half wall. I'll let you have a little peek at the progress thus far. I will show you when it's finished.

It's not easy for me to have such a mess in our home. My daughter asked me how I was doing with it all. I told her I was doing okay. It is quite dusty and messy and the vacuum has been used more than ever. The whole house will be painted after this project is complete. How do you do when there are renovations taking place in your home?
