We spent Memorial Day weekend with my husband’s mistress.
The house is a never-ending project. Today Niall painted the front door and replaced a dozen window panes.
I spent most of my time chasing Quinn around and not cooking.
We ate Pork Supper at the Rupert Firehouse on Saturday night and Sunday night my in-laws came to us and we grilled.
There were modified water-activities designed to cool and entertain without Mama’s cast getting wet.
The entire state of Vermont smelled from lilacs (except when the wind shifted and brought with it the smell of the dairy farm up the way).
Thank you all for your well wishes about my hand. Aside from being inconvenienced and a little uncomfortable, I’m getting by. Typing however, is close to impossible, so don’t look for any wordy posts or email messages from me until the thing is off next week.
Is anyone else counting down days until school lets out for summer?

The Countess is counting as well.
I’m still trying to figure out how we are all going to get together.
I LOVE MY BANNER!!
oxoxoxo
What pretty photos!
Your hubs and my hubs share the same hobby. We have gutted and remodeled old houses in the past (lucky for me we are not in the middle of one right now!) and he loves it! It saves a lot of money to have a DIY’er in the house!
Wow. What a project. I certainly wish we could do more ourselves, but I’m not sure that I’m up to that challenge! It will be beautiful when it’s finished.
That house is spectacular! BTW, I’ve finallt finished "Listening is an act …" I loved it. Thank you so much. Really, it was a fantastic book. I posted about it today to spread the word.
I’m in the final stretch of school!! Just this week
Sounds like a nice weekend for the most part – love your pictures!
Gorgeous shots! I would give anything for a mistress like that
The photos 1912 and 2001 nearly broke my heart. Then your recent pictures put it back together. What a beautiful and amazing job you have done with the house. You should be proud. I know home remodeling…but on a much smaller scale. You must be a very patient woman.
I can’t remember if I told you this or not, but I love your banner, and also, I love your blue door.
I am counting down the days until summer vacation, but right now it seems like it is still so far away. Oh the state of Vermont, it’s the official state of summer for me. I’m glad you are doing well and healing!
Very envious of what looks some gorgeous weather. We are coming into winter and it has rained and rained…so bleak!
I’m counting down the days…and wondering how the heck I’m gonna keep my kids busy for the next three months! I think we’ll be going up north to my dad’s property quite a bit, and taking swimming lessons, and biking around the city. Guess I’ve already got some things in mind.
Lovely pics, btw! Those purple lilacs are somethin’ else.
I love the smell of lilacs!!!
Those lilacs! That bee! Love.
We’re out of school! Love the pics. I have to do some window pane replacement myself–it’s a never ending list of things that have to be done! Fun summer things to do!
I love that blue door! such an intense and vibrant colour.
* always love the photography too!!!*
love love your blue door!
what a great idea for modified water activities. :^)
Love the pic of Quinn in overalls picking dandelions. It could have been taken 50 years ago. So sweet.
