Enjoying Summer

I went to Los Angeles and Vancouver last weekend and a lot has gone on at the church in the two weeks that I have not been up. I apologize for the lack of updates but I've actually been ENJOYING the church and not blogging about my progress. It's a fantastic tree house with a mostly shady, dappled sunlight porch with a Hudson River view. Every time I come home to it, I breathe a little deeper.

I will give you a more detailed renovation update soon. The concrete sidewalk should be poured and set when I get up there tomorrow night. I now have a gas grill. My friend, Julian helped me build a stone wall at street level. Jeff, my electrician worked with Central Hudson to raise the power lines. It's coming together.
And as far as curb appeal, this was the church in March:

And here it is in August:

I can't wait for the hedges to grow. Oh wait, yes I can. I learned that patience is the key to the kingdom.
And here's my best friend and gardener, Deb Parker, who really made it happen.

More soon...
