I just checked the 10 day forecast and, once we make it through tonight and tomorrow, it is going to finally warm up. It is predicted to be as high as the upper 30’s by February 19! I am so ready for that.
I started seeds over the weekend, so that puts me in the mood for spring. I’m starting them earlier than usual, but hopefully that will mean that they are big enough to have a real headstart when I put them outside in May. We found a bunch of flower seeds of 4 kinds, that we don’t remember what they were. Should be interesting.
In other news, Don gave the okay to start planning to build this summer. I’m so excited – it has been 8 years since we bought the property! Once we get 117 finished and rented, we won’t have any actual personal debt, if you count all the rented rentals as business expenses. So I’m hoping we can get a loan at a reasonable rate while the economy is still sluggish. We are planning to just build the basement and finish it off with a pitched roof, then put the second story on someday, if we can afford it and decide to stay around. Otherwise, it is a nice foundation for someone else’s house.
yay yay yay! 🙂
