The house I bought has a huge raspberry garden in the back at least 150 feet long and probably 80 feet wide. I have not had time to tackle it with all the other work that I have to do. A person came by a few weeks ago wanting to buy some raspberry bushes from me. I told him that I haven't had a chance to tackle the garden which is way overgrown and he offered to thin them out for me if he could have 50 plants, so it's a total win-win situation! It was so hot and dry over the long weekend that I thought I better start watering those raspberry bushes. We got a good rain Tuesday night, so I thought I would continue watering them to keep the ground moist. I hooked up the hose and rain bird sprinkler and did the garden in two halves. After two hours of watering we got a huge thunder shower and it rained for a long time, it was wonderful. It rained again yesterday off and on and late last night so that garden is completely wet.
I have been busy at the house pulling up the carpet that was installed so I can do hardwood floors in the living room and hallway . There are also electrical heat registers and all the rooms that I no longer need so I've been pulling them out as well with all the wiring. It has been an easy job, but time-consuming.
I finally did get responses from the contractors and only one guy can do it to my timeframe and he's hoping to be done by September 1 so we'll see how that goes, fingers crossed. Now I just need to get my cabinets finalized but that's dependent on getting my appliances and I just can't get one place to get me a reasonable quote for the package that I want.
It seems very stressful and overwhelming at this point but I know it's going to be great and it's all gonna work out just fine, so it will all be worth it in the end.
Thanks for reading!
Count your blessings!
