This is another Project almost finished, I actually hauled all these rocks (with a little help from my hubby) and placed them like a puzzle together to make a walk way. Woah it was a lot of work but well worth it. I am so proud of myself.

The Garden Gurus

So this is the beautiful garden we moved into this year finally. We built some raised beds and put on a front gate which isn't in this picture. The beautiful arbor around the garden was built by the previous owners (lucky us.) So this is our first real garden, Collette would be so proud. Rich grew up gardening so I'm very lucky to have him as a montor. I'm learning that the trick is actually maintaining the health of the plants and not just planting them (darnit!) So if anyone has good organic gardening pesticide recipes etc. please tell me. (I should call aunt Gail)

RIpping out the Deck

Here is the 3rd McClellan project, (I am a Spurt blogger) Rich decide one day that he wanted to take two weeks vacation time to build a new deck. He found some random person who was giving theirs away so he went with his brother and picked up the wood which is basically new, and put it into ours. Its not finished yet but more pictures will come. 

The fireplace

This picture is just for bragging. This is our fireplace project from 3 months ago but I never showed it off. We are soooo happy with it and I think it has been one of the most fulfilling art projects I've ever done. And best of all it was a family effort. we each have blood and sweat into this puppy.

Lake County Native American Mural

Well here is one of the many McClellan Projects, we are even working together to make it happen. Cheryl McClellan (my mom in-law) started a museum, I often wonder how one does that. We are helping her paint a mural of a native scene on one of the walls. Cheryl ,daddy, and even the girls came to paint too. It has been an ongoing effort for about one month and I dare say it is kinda fun painting again, its been quite a while.
