this is where we were on august 2 last year. we've come a long way,
steve has done a tremendous amount of work- and we have our occupancy final.
the one thing that had to be changed was the
banisters had to be moved up. they seem quite high to
steve & me, but it's where they need to be. now we're all legal!
front porch looks great after
steve got the finish on it earlier this week.
this weekend's project was vinyl for the back porch.
under the stairs
and the laundry room
steve did a great job! things are starting to feel more finished. we picked up an extra vanity on sale to use for storage on the back porch.
and the couch fits perfectly along with the little side table from the second hand store. nice place to unwind & watch the sunset. we don't have huge windows to look out due to needing to be 100 mi hr wind proof, but it's still a light pretty spot.
the trees & shrubs we planted last fall are doing well. need to read up on what stuff i can bring up from home- i have lots of plants needing dividing, if they'll survive.
speaking of finished- the master bath looks great
the front room is shaping up, now that we're down to one couch
echo is working hard in his position as guard of the homestead
but we all got some play in as well........ rocky came to visit
the camera got a work out
wild flowers still blooming- wild rose
potentilla
steve fixed the back of the jeep up so the dogs could ride safely. put a box over the bolts on the floor & the net around to keep them from getting any bright ideas about hopping out.
we headed out on the
forest service road toward couch summit
and came to this beautiful spot
more wildflowers

scenic vistas
when we were heading back to town, we saw a mama skunk & her babies in the road. they scattered quickly before i could get a photo. but then we saw these fox kits playing off to the side. they were hilarious- like puppies. we turned around & i managed to get a few shots. with echo whining and trying to get out to "play" with them.
and got home for a beautiful sunset. 
pleased to report that steve got a mountain bike ride in today and is looking forward to getting some fishing and biking done in the coming weeks now that the pressure is off.
