To Do: The new apartment!

The Living Room - 0% done -  View from the door View from that hallway doorway  Damage on the door from previous tenant. :( Damage in the carpet from previous tenant :( The nice thing about this living room is that it is BIG. South-facing windows let in a lot of natural light, but also a lot of heat. I will be surprised if we ever have to turn the heat on in here or the kitchen.

Being Gentle

As I mentioned before, Mr. Moon was in a car accident last weekend. This week we've done barely more than feed ourselves and keep up on dishes, to give him some time to recover. It's been a rough week. What it means, though, is that we haven't been working on any projects lately! Not even any ambitious recipes. Nothing fun to show you. Tomorrow promises to be more good weather though, so I'll try to get out there and get some garden update pictures before the rain comes on Monday. What have you been up to?
