What did you do this weekend?
We were knee deep into our renovations again but I took some time to do some gardening since the weather man was wrong again! Check out some of my late bloomers!
Greek oregano - who has a few mushroom friends!
Our pond lilies and hyacinths exploded in the past two weeks! Our ponds are covered with these little beauties! 
Finally, Andrew's Hibiscus tree decided to show it's beauty - look how vibrant the colour is! 
I have a Hibiscus bush that I am proud to say has bloomed all summer - thats why we were so happy to see Andrew's tree finally bloom.
This is what I woke to this morning - Meet Sonny Valentine (dog) and Fat Tony (cat) - I've never seen them sleep together - FT is a baby still - only a year old and Sonny the old man of 5 yrs sort of just tolerates him hanging out.LOOK WHAT I FOUND MA!!!
So this weekend - another reno weekend started by having to empty the china and buffet cabinets that have not been touched in probably 10 years (they were there before me otherwise I would have already been all over that - ocd - right). Anyway, it was my job this weekend to empty these and find the treasures and figure out what to do with it all....Well to my surprise I found so many treasures there are too many to even think of where they will all go again....
So I did what I had to and hand washed everything - all day... and almost all night. Unfortunately after washing it all, I couldn't do anything with it - I had to box it until our floors are finished and then I can put it all away again. Even when that day comes, what am I going to do with it all? How do I display or use all of this?!
Meanwhile, Andrew and the boys finished our hall closet, moulding from the kitchen all the way to the front entrance, 2 door casings, removed the existing moulding from the living room and dining room and started to place our new subfloor to prep for hardwood.
Almost finished - don't worry this room will not stay blue!!!
Even my ceiling got finished -
Jordy screwing my floors down - no squeeks! Around 6pm, we were all finished - had a great filling homemade spaghetti dinner and enjoyed the rest of the night in our back yard.

What's left:
patching - all the niks and cuts we made (oops)
sanding
repainting the whole main level - ceilings too
hardwood
moulding
case the main window
stain the oak trim in the kitchen and front closet
cleaning
decorating
Doesn't seem that bad when I make it into a list....I'm sure Andrew does not see it that way though!
