PS: If you''d like an amenities checklist, including what exactly is stocked in the kitchen or what outdoor gear we have, please email me and I'll email the lists to you. Also, we took the floor plans off the vrbo site, so here they are:

OUTSIDE!

We are still doing tiny details and solving decorating dilemmas inside the ranch house, but most of the work has moved outside to the exterior. We have had way more than our share of rain (in fact, it's raining again right now), but when it's not pouring, the guys are working on the new rock and siding on the house. The "up-side" to all the rain is that it's a very green spring!Entrance
Here's the house (right) and the boat house (left) from across US Highway 89...the river is high!


And here's the house again from across the highway, looking southeast.

The boathouse and the pavilion

The house as of the first of June

(you can see the new rock work on the right, and the old yellow brick on the left; the greenish stuff is backer board for the new siding).

James & Uncle Mike planting the garden last weekend

(we finally had some sunny days and the garden stopped being a mudhole)

It's going to be a great apple harvest next September...look at those blossoms!

Here's the picnic pavilion on the river, with the fire ring and brick bench to the left
