Day 5

This is the view of the back door from a little way out into the yard. Wow, the back has gotten really overgrown! The door needs repainting, and the volunteer maples need thinning, and the stair railings need tightening. The deck should probably be demolished altogether, quite honestly. I used to shoot up there against the back of the house, but models kept getting their heels stuck in rotted boards!

You're seeing part of my vintage watering can collection. I'm thinking I might part with that when I move...maybe keep the best 3-5, and let the rest of them go. Sigh.

Day 1

So, the child is grown, and almost ready to leave the nest. August 2009 she's off to college in parts as-yet unknown. And *I* will be moving on, as well, to something more manageable for one person. I love my house - it's charming. Well...it has the POTENTIAL to be charming! What it really is, is messy and overgrown. It's gotten away from me the past few years.

So, I need to start getting things in order...and this photo blog will journal the transition from messy and overgrown to...well, hopefully, less messy and overgrown! First I'll introduce you to the house, but by bit, and eventually you'll start seeing some changes.....

And here, on Day 1, is My House...
