David has been a busy guy! I’m reading through Facebook that many people are decorating for the holidays, sprucing up their homes with paint and carpet, etc…I realize this must be a genetic thing or maybe it’s that time of year. Since living in Washington, I use the weather to direct my activities: spring and summer-I’ll work outside. Fall and winter-I’ll stay in. Even though our temps are cooling here, we’ve had some nice fall days and my son is taking advantage of those days to finish outside projects and seems to use the rainier days to work inside.
David had told me he was painting the inside of his house-getting rid of the last of the builder’s paint. Then he added a new addition to enjoy the winter months indoors:
He did well! He says he wants to get another sectional piece as well. Maybe he’ll comment on this post to clarify.
Then, check out what he’s been doing outside! This really blows my mind. A couple of years ago, for his birthday, the family went in on a pond liner for David’s birthday. I guess he’s been accumulating other materials, and while he says it’s not finished, check out what he has designed and built from scratch. He even has koi in there.

Then he put lighting in and around the pond:


Finally, this weekend he and Kim went shopping for plants. David called me today (with “sore feet”) and told me to check my email:


I’m surprised he only has sore feet! So, the bottom line, is that David has been super busy. AND in between all of this, he also took some time to help us tape and texture our family room ceiling-which had sprung a small leak. Thanks David!
How about we all take a break now and cuddle up in our homes and with friends and family and REST!
Oh, and by the way, I’ve already claimed David to help with our pond next spring/summer. He’s already come up with some fun ideas!
I particularly like the plastic bucket at the top! Other than that (Mrs. Lincoln) it looks great!
The pond looks beautiful! I’m anxious to see it all…the new paint, the sofa….and David! And everybody!!
