doors
So after agonizing over our broken fridge door and doing research for a new purchase, Keith came up with a great idea and "fixed" our fridge!
Fridge doors can open from right to left or left to right. You just have to unscrew the hinges and move them to the other side.
After we went to the Sears Outlet Scratch-n-Dent, a light bulb went off in Keith's head. Why not just move the hinges to the right side of the door? It's the left that is completely worn out.
We went home and he gave it a shot. It's missing a plastic washer which we will have to buy, but otherwise it works! No more holding the door with our knee while we open it! And we just saved ourselves $800-900!

Spring Blooms
April 3, 2010
The weather is fine and the flowers are a bloomin'! Last fall, I planted red tulips to match my red door and look how pretty it turned out.
There are red tulips bordering both sides of the steps.
Close up of the tulips. (The photo is really blown out, but it's a nice red in person.)
These are some different daffodils that I planted in the Fall. These are so adorable. There are 4 flower heads on one stem.
This daffodil has a double row of petals in two shades of yellow.
This is a peach colored daffodil which also has double sets of petals in two shades of peach. The flower head is a lot larger than the yellow ones too.
I spent a lot of time planning out my flowers so that there would be something blooming each month. The tulips and daffodils comes first. So do the muscari and our cherry blossom. Next fall, I may plant some crocus which can pop up even when there is still frost on the ground. I also picked out late blooming tulips (pink and sorbet colored ones) which will bloom soon, but last longer than the red ones. The irises and peonies are beginning to grow tall. They will bloom in about 3-4 weeks. So will the roses and dogwood tree. The day lilies will bloom all throughout the summer with a second showing on the roses. I divided my one cluster of day lilies into 8 bunches! Yes, EIGHT! I potted them and temporarily placed them where I plan on planting them. I also worked on the veggie beds in the back yard.
