House update: we had blown-in foam sprayed into our upstairs walls before rolling in the fiberglass batting. This is apparently supposed to create a vapor barrier, and add R-value to the walls. Once it is sprayed on, it hardens up. It looks like cottage cheese! They put it on really thick above the windows. I hope this means we will be toasty warm in winter and cooler in the summer. Mike and I did a lot of the batting, which was oh-so fun. Fiberglass all over us and in our throats for a couple of days :)
The brick is coming along nicely. They are about halfway done. Here is a close up of what we are having done under all the windows. The brick in this picture looks kind of grey because it has mortar residue on it. They have acid washed the finished parts so they look darker now. I just haven't taken a picture yet.
Yesterday I went to Manning Orchard and bought 2 boxes of Lemon Elberta peaches. They are heavenly! I will be busy for the next few days canning them and making jam. They make my house smell so delicious!
Danika has been working on an assignment for her Studio Art class. She had to draw a front and side view of someone. She chose Natalie Portman, of Star Wars fame. I am totally amazed at what a great job she did!
