The plumbing is almost done, and the wiring has begun! The electrician started on Monday and put in most of the can lights and switch boxes on the first day. All of the scary old cords and fixtures are gone, except the old chandelier, which now hangs in the garage. Speaking of the garage, here is a garage door photo that my mother requested... The door is a sandy color that matches the window trim-- a warmer color than this photo indicates.

On a different note, the lawn is still thriving after the rainy holidays and the summery weather of the past week. The cherimoya fruits (above) are getting bigger and bigger, so now I have to figure out when they are going to be truly ripe. Out of the two packets of flower seeds that I planted in November, only one sunflower grew-- and it was the one directly under Jesus in the Birdhouse. Hmmmm...
