September Reno Progress

The bathroom floor mosaic is starting to be created.

Bathroom tiles and their aluminum companions are getting ready for installation. 

HK is filling in all the tiny cracks in the new crown molding and baseboards. 

The crown molding above the bedroom window and closet has been completed. 

View of the crown holding meeting the clerestory windows on the hall wall of the guest bedroom. 

Miles more trim for around all of the inside doors. 

Wildberry Garden in September

Honey bee in white Zinnia, we're very glad that there are live honeybees in our garden; someone must have a hive reasonably close by that hasn't been affected by colony collapse. 
Honey bee in the spiders web. There are a vast number of spiders around right now and they're very very busy. 


The new loganberry trellis has been built and the vines attached to it. It's good to have them off the ground and doing well as we thought the vine was dead a couple of years ago after a harsh winter. 

The tomatoes continue to produce vast quantities of sweet fruit. 

The deck frog has squished himself above the LED lights today.
Last week the deck frog was in the geranium pot, though it was quite a bit warmer last Sunday. 

A larger version of the deck frog was hanging out on the lower part of the railing.
