Hi Everyone! How's your summer been? We're in for a stretch of hot temp's this next week. Although our garden is growing, I am constantly thinking about how the exterior of our house is a bit of an ugly duckling. It's been a slow process finding the right color and of course tackling the stucco. The front porch will be the first area that will look better. I'm not sure how long this will take us. Soon our home will look like a little cottage surrounded with flowers, perennials, and trees.
