Tim is currently in the US on business and arrived a few days early to get some things done at the house. On Friday the granite people came over to do the template for the countertops and the backsplash designer was there too!

Then the previous owner of the house came by to meet with Tim and show him how to operate the lawn irrigation system. As we bought the house when it was cold outside the sprinklers were never turned on for obvious reasons.

Anyway, he saw the unfortunate spot of primer in the dining room look ~HERE for a reminder~ and proceeded to tell Tim he had a large remnant of the carpet and said we could have it! How kind is that? Now we can use it to cut out the ruined spot and make a temporary fix for now. He brought it over to Tim today and told him ALL about the various plants and trees in the yard and garden. We have not only an apple tree but a peach tree as well. In the garden there is currently asparagus and rhubarb. I am thinking I am going to have to make some PIES this fall, oh darn!!

Rhubarb? One of my favorites, and I will give you grandma's recipe for rhubarb pie. Very yummy! Nana

It is so nice of him to give you the piece of carpet! I love that he still has such pride in the house that he wanted to share all about the gardens with Tim.
