The weather here has been fantastic. All the trees are leaved out, many are in full bloom and it is just lovely. Here is the forecast for the coming week.
As for the work in the house, it continues. We were away for 5 days on a trip out to AB to pick up some more things we needed (window blinds, closet and pantry shelving and storage from Ikea, paint, and other misc hardware). It’s hard to leave for so many days knowing how much we could accomplish if we were home, but it is also great to see everyone. Besides all the running around and family time, Aron and I both had medical appointments, so we were very busy most of the trip.
Our crew worked while we were away and installed all the doors and finished all the trim around the doors and windows. They also finished the last little bit of siding on the garage (we had to order more, so they couldn’t finish earlier).
The upstairs bathroom is fully functional, the powder room has a working toilet and Aron is just getting the tiling prep done in the ensuite so he can tile tomorrow. So soon we will have some functionality in there as well.

Our hope is to get the counters measured for early next week and then shortly after we should have them installed.
Our crew is also working on finishing up the attic doors on the garage upper floor and the double doors at the backend of the garage. They got the top doors installed yesterday and they look great!
We’ve made some great friends out here already and one couple who grew up out here are showing us some of the wild growing plants that are edible. This is what they call Suzy Q or False Solomon Seal. It only grows for a short time around spring. You blanch it and then fry it up with garlic. It is quite good and can be frozen too, sort of reminds me of spinach.
I’ve started some plants for our garden and they are doing pretty well. Actually hoping to transplant some of the into the garden this weekend. We’ll probably plant some potatoes and other things too, hope we don’t get any late frost.
