So of course now that my closet is finished, for the most part, I needed to begin to tackle the next big indoor project.
Another closet! Whaaat?! Seriously this project should not have taken as long as it has. I pretty sure I pulled everything out of said closet back in December. The plan was to give it a new paint job, install some more shelving and maybe some cubbies to make it more organized, and then put everything back. It's been a couple of months and I still haven't finished the painting part. And even worse, I'm the only one that can tell that I've actually painted the ceiling and 3 out of the 4 walls. *sigh*
In the meantime the second bedroom looks like a disaster zone. Yay!
Hopefully soon the painting part will be complete and I'll have snazzy pictures to show. Until then please don't try and imagine the amount of crap we've managed to hoard and are expecting to put back in this closet...it isn't pretty.

Garden bounty
We have great plans for a veggie garden. We do! We really do! Unfortunately we are so very methodical (slow) in doing garden stuff that we don't have a lot to show for it at the moment. However, this past summer we did plant some tomatoes:
Look at that bounty! We didn't get a ton (we only had two plants) but hey, we could grow something other than weeds!
Also last summer we tried making our first batch of limoncello:
It's a wee bit potent, but it sure looks pretty. I'm hoping it will have mellowed out some more by the time summer comes around (cause everybody knows that summer = limoncello time!)
We have another batch brewing but we've managed to forget about it (ie. I've ignored it and Ben has forgotten about it) so it will be interesting to see how it compares when we finally filter it.
And finally, this winter we were given two snow pea plants, that have done quite well thus far.
Lesson learned: next winter if we plant 10 more plants we actually have enough to share!
Also, that's two, yep two! edible plants we have managed to grow and not kill. I would call that a rousing success.
