| Baseboards have been installed in the hallway leading into the great room. |
 |
| View of the great room from the future kitchen. |
 |
| Looking across the seating area to the future library corner. The baseboards, door and window trim are now complete. |
 |
| Still some work to be done in the sunroom in the loft. One of these days we'll get it tiled. |
 |
| Looking across to where the kitchen will be, hopefully by the end of the summer. |
 |
| The great room from standing in the library. |
 |
| Finished bathroom cabinets are now in use. |
 |
| The guest bathroom is small but has turned out exceptionally well. |
 |
| The corner shower is an inviting place to hang out. |
 |
| Greenhouse successes have their first day in the sunshine outside. They have done very well in my absence. |
 |
| The fenced garden is looking good, peas are coming up slowly and broccoli is starting to flower. |
 |
| The camas field is in bloom with a lovely blue-purple haze. |
 |
| Deck pots in the springtime sunshine. |
 |
| Pretty stripy tulips on the deck. |
 |
| The grass is growing quickly in the springtime sunshine. This is the third cut for it this spring. |
 |
| The mason bees are busy placing eggs in the bee tubes to create next year's pollinators. |
 |
| Three bees are visible in the tubes in this photo, but there are actually at least a dozen moving back and forth between the flowers and the tubes. |
 |
| The rhododendrons and cherry tree are blooming!! |
 |
| The camas field is full of shooting stars and they leave a pinky carpet on the green background. |
 |
| Tulips simply glow. |
 |
| Tulips and Forget-me-nots! |
 |
| Shooting stars in their fuscia dresses are turning the meadow a beautiful pinky purple. |
 |
| Oregon grape has begun to flower in the forest. A shock of yellow among the emerald green. |
 |
| The first fairy slipper orchids have emerged in the shade of the fir trees. |
 |
| The cherry tree is in full bloom and if there are enough pollinators around we (or rather the birds) will have a lot of cherries to eat in June. |
 |
| The Japanese maple is slowly unfurling it's deep red leaves. |
 |
| The greenhouse is full of life. Successful germination of lupins will hopefully mean the back hill can be covered in them. |
 |
| More Lupins! |
 |
| Lemon gem marigolds at 3 weeks old! |
 |
| Tomatoes should be ready for transplanting outside in a month or so. |
 |
| Red currants have produced their chains of flowers. More red currant jelly is planned for this summer. |
 |
| The peas that were planted before the Easter weekend are now emerging from the cold ground. |
 |
| Henrik is working on window trim. Finishing work is time consuming but it looks much better once it's done. |
 |
| The octagon window in the future library seems much bigger now that it has a frame. |
