It is finished...for now.

Dad finished the staining the concrete patios out back and between the 4th of July, Jamey finally having her baby and the Internet being out- I have been a little behind in my publications. So here is a good picture of the porch and a far away shot of the kitchen.

Pending gas and electric bill prices... we have 3 more phases to finish the backyard. One of the phases cannot be completed until fall due to the weather (too hot) and that phase is the completion of the beds around the kitchen. I am going to fill them with knock-out roses. We also have to finish the dry creek bed and put in a spiral patio off our bedroom... all in good time.
