Repeat after me

We are going to make it through tax time before any purchases or major home investments.

If only I had pictures of what the mister did this weekend! Vast, yet thrifty, improvements on the house. I could even call them sweeping improvements! Here's how it went down: C: Can we get rid of (insert huge purposeless object I've kept because "one day I'll use it"). R (that's me): Yes, but if I get rid of that you have to make a gate or door to keep the dogs out of the dining room. Seems cruel to sanction the house off with dog-ok and dog-prohibited areas, but all of our good dishes and glassware is in the supercool (yet thrifty!) china cabinet. A hundred something odd pounds of puppy mass makes me worry about the life expectancy of fragile objects.

And so Friday night he sectioned off the dining room with hollow-core bifold closet doors that are plain wood and very pretty!

Then, on a Sunday trip to the hardware store for another garden hose, the mister decided that was the day to finish walling off the garage opening, an old, put-on-the-back-burner project that remained mid-construction for 10 months or so, I'd guess. By 7 PM he was done with construction and had the first coat of paint on it! Incredible!

I fiddled away time in the garden, pruning and cleaning it up a little. . . while he, despite some protest due to my own desire to do this, built another raised bed for this year's garden! expansion. Who lit a fire under his bum and will you keep it going please?
