Spring Update

Spring has really arrived in Bowville… Birds everywhere, flowers out, tree buds are swelling, orchard trees are blooming. And, even our dear friend from Colorado, “Dick D” came out from snowy Denver to spend some time with us….. only this time we tried our best to mix recreation with his constant willingness to help on the house. He loved the house. The last time he was there it was May 2009. He was out for a week and left today.
Again, the pics tell it all. We actually went to Larrabee State Park and walked the beaches and the rocky coast on a beautiful day. Also went on a ferry ride for part of the day to get a whiff of the saltwater and views of the islands and the snow-capped peaks. It’s a beautiful place.
We completed a few projects too. Dick and Chris started installing the deck railings which we absolutely love. They add a finishing touch and actually seem to make the decks “larger” because now we can walk to the edge without the fear of falling off! We also made screen windows for the screened porch (logical choice) and Chris will be bringing the screen doors this week. That is about it for now. Finishing the garden, the screened porch, etc., etc., etc. mixed with some NW fun is on tap for the next couple months….
