I found this old house sitting high on a hill while driving along the Missouri river west of Jefferson City. While it was empty, it didn't seem totally decayed and might be a good candidate for restoration. Note: I passed by this again on August 05, 2008 and it was still exactly the same, nothing had been done to improve it. Note #2: I came by this again on August 05, 2010 and it was in the process of being restored. The roof had been replaced with a red metal roof, some of the windows were removed and the siding was being taken off so that it could be insulated, with sheathing and new siding to be put on. There was a workman on a ladder working on it as I drove by. Explore #181 on December 05, 2007 ~ Thank you! BURNED TO THE GROUND!!

I am so happy I dug up these daffodils my mother planted, from a spot I couldn't see without going outside, to a spot I can see from my kitchen window. Last spring was their first year and this year I do believe they have already multiplied. They are a later booming variety too and I like that. The daffs I transplanted in an area close by with a sundial have already almost bloomed out. How does your garden grow? I am having such a good time outside this time of year. I have been organizing my barn/garage too, no easy feat! xo Home Page w/ Newest Post
