SOGGY SUNDAY

We didn't see one flake of snow yesterday but have seen pictures of accumulation in other areas of the metroplex. It only rained on us on our way out to the house and while we were unloading.

(Pssst....Please don't tell our builder we drove on the turnaround in front of the house. There were barriers across the drive to keep vehicles off that area. They probably sealed it the day before. We're pretty sure it was ok to drive on and there was no way we were carrying everything into the house in the rain! We backed up right under the porch and never got a drop on us! We couldn't go in through the garage because they'd just done the expoxy floor the day before and we knew we couldn't mess that up because they hadn't put the sealer on yet. Don't worry about those tracks.....just water.)




I darted out the side door under protection of the porch to take this picture of the finished deck. When we arrived the visibility was very poor and we could hardly see anything off in the distance.

This is the very first thing we've placed in the house. Just take my word for it.....the rug and the walls do look good together in person. I don't know why this color on the bedroom walls never looks like the actual color. The rug isn't really true to its color, either. Hmmm. Do you think it's my camera or is it just that I always use the simple setting when taking pictures? Anyway, my photography skills are zilch.

I really love this rug. It has hung in Brumbaugh's showroom since August when we purchased it. I visited it many times, taking paint samples to hold up to see if the color went with the rug. Then later on, when I'd already picked out the color, we would stop by Brumbaugh's on the pretense of looking at furniture but really it was just to say "howdy" to my rug. It is awaiting the arrival of the bedroom furniture on Saturday. Can't wait to put that room together. I've kept certain old things and have bought new things to go with........this has been put together in my mind and I can't wait to see if it actually looks like what I picture it to be.

It is very hard to believe that I did my very first post on this blog one year ago, almost to the day. I first posted on January 12, 2010. This year has gone by in one big blur. My blogging days are almost finished. I will do one final post weeks down the road after all the furniture is in place and I'll wait for a sunny day to take the exterior shots....makes for a much cheerier picture!

Until then, stay warm and safe!
