Gardens

The plants and flowers seem to like the Lewes climate. Did Tom add any nuclear fuel to the tomato plants????

Front of the House

Finally, some vegetation hiding the dirt (I mean earth) piles.

Summer Visitors

Despite the construction, we’ve had some wonderful visitors this summer. 4th of July party; the Paradiso/Moynihan family from Montreal (seen rummaging through Richard’s utensil drawers & Brian eating sushi with Tom/Richard), Anna and Jim Steininger with their friend Antonella from Italy, and the Donoghue’s from Baltimore (Liz and Bruce pictured).

The Overfalls Lightship

The Overfalls Lightship returned to Lewes last weekend from getting its hull repaired. To learn about the Lightship, click on the photo of the plaque, it should enlarge enough for you to read it. If you want information about its return, check out:

The ship is permanently docked in the Lewes canal. The return was one BIG social event....cannon fire, cheers and photographers galore.

The front yard

Our neighbors are so happy that they don't have to look out on a dirt (whoops, I mean "soil") pile! The plants - some purchased, others from Tom's mother and sister's gardens.

Working on the outside - Backyard

We were able to do some planting this year....tomatoes (of course), arugula, carrots, radishes, swiss chard, hot peppers & herbs. Tom installed a brick base where we've put the grill.

Finishing the 3rd floor Master Bedroom

We skipped the 2nd floor and went to work on the 3rd floor. We're been busy putting the finishing touches including painting, cleaning windows, tile work, installing the shower hardware and installing the toilet. Still waiting for the sink cabinet to be delivered....guess we'll have to brush our teeth in the shower!
