backsplash!

Prepping the walls...










The first little wall of tile...










The worst bit ever (check all the cuts I had to make)...










And more tile...










Pause to grout and caulk...and done!

first signs of spring

Check it out!
Look what's growing on the south side of my house! It's a perfect spot--the only place where the snow has totally melted, tucked out of the wind and right smack in the sunshine.
I can't wait to see what they are. I'm thinking this massive cluster is daffodils.
But these, I'm not so sure. Tulips and grape hyacinth? Oh, I hope they don't get killed off in a late cold snap. It happens. After all, we still have another month of winter. But man, it's hard not to think spring when I come home from work to a sight like this.
