Home Sweet Home

So, I hear I am not a very good Blogger. My husband is even giving me a bad time about not keeping up with my adventures. I admit I am about three posts/stories behind so hopefully I will make up for it now.

This post is for many reasons. First, many of my Seattle friends don't know what my real house looks like so I thought I would put some pictures of my Thompson North home so they could see. They are outside pictures only because my original photo session for this post was for our, or I need to say Will's pond upgrade which I will get to shortly.


Home Sweet Home!



View from the yard.

We don't have much landscaping done but here are a few pictures of what is done. It is definitely a major work in progress. When you have 10 acres it takes a lot of motivation which is most definitely lacking on my end.



Yard art made by my dad out of old insulators. Pretty cool!

Okay, reason two for this post. A couple years ago while I was away at a Credit Union Management School Will put in a pond to surprise me and since then we have been looking for a old water pump to circulate the water. Well my dad recently found us a pump and Will put it together this weekend so I felt I had a story to share. The following is before, during and after photos for you. First of all we did have some cute friends help us or should I say they observed the progress. 



Can you spot our frog? He is pretty cute.



Here is Wasabi. He posed nicely for the camera.

Of course we cannot forget about Riley. He was most definitely out helping. He loves to be outside and as my mom says "Be with his people."

Okay, here is the before picture with no water pump:

Some during photos:

Very focused! Don't ask how many trips to Hardware Sales he made that day he is a bit bitter about it.

After photos:

Good job to Will on a project completed. You can check it off your list. Hope you all enjoyed a mini tour of the outside of our house or at least some of the outside of it. There are many more places to venture but that can be posts for a later day. I will leave you with another Wasabi picture since he stuck around for many, many pictures.

Cheers and until next time!
