Rainy Afternoons & Enjoying Hearthstone

Saturday afternoon, Alex (one of my best friends from high school) came over for the first time.  I had so much showing her around and explaining all our plans.  At first, she was blown away by the beautiful scenery and I think a little taken aback at the state of the house!  Then I think it clicked that this is what Rocky and Roger do for a living and the light bulb went off.  She says, "Ohh!  Yes, you can totally do this now.  I get it!  Somehow I missed that part!"  We had a blast!  Mary came over and brought lunch so we sat and talked and enjoyed the scenery.  Then huge storm clouds started to roll in.  We decided to move the part into the barn to enjoy the storm.  Thanks so much Alex for coming over today and sharing in our excitement!

In the evening, Roger and I had a chance to continue to sit and enjoy the storm over cookies and coffee.  We are so thankful for the rain (even though I would prefer it to rain at night during off-work hours!) as it is definitely helping my gorgeous grass grow!  (I will post a picture of the lawn later).  The refinished gutter along the bank of the driveway worked like a charm!  This quiet time was perfect for some brainstorming, planning, and dreaming about the plans for the property. :)
