Saturday

Saturday we ended up getting pretty derailed. We ran TONS of errands, errands we've been meaning to run for months, and by the end of the day, we didn't have the time or energy to work on the house. Oh well.

We did manage to take the old front door to an architectural salvage store in Ballard called ReStore. Those of you who live in the area and like old stuff should go there. They have cool house parts. There's a store in Bellingham, too - I've added a link at the side of the blog. Anyway, they loved our hobbit door, and because we had it still in its frame, and the screen door, and even the key, they think they'll be able to find it a good home, which makes me glad. We got store credit, too, which will be good when we're buying interior doors. They have lots of the five-panel kind that I love and that will go great with my knobs.

Here's us saying good-bye to our door.

We also took a picture of the MONSTER chocolate mint plant that's taking over our planting bed. That plant, the globe basil plants next to it, and the rosemary to the east, have been the happiest plants I've ever seen. They've grown so huge in such a short amount of time. Too bad the pictures don't really do them justice.
