Updates at the Log Cabin & a WINNER!

Now that spring is here, it's time to tackle some projects at the log cabin. We want to put in a dock this year and have been checking Craig's List to see if we can find some good deals! Next on our list is landscaping. We are going to do a small portion of it. Greg is building two long flower boxes which I'll show once they are completed. Here are some other happenings...


Here's a Robin who promised me that Spring is now here to stay....




Marvin wants to know when we are going to stain the deck. It's already been a year!



Umm Greg...this isn't WHERE your fishing boat goes!


Now the last order of business! Greg drew April's name ("Straight from the Heart" ) for my final log cabin follower winner!Congratulations to April! Be sure to pay her a visit! She has a wonderful blog filled with beautiful photos, funny stories about being a mom and much more! (April, please email your address to shelleyupnorth at gmail dot com.)

    Marvin is so cute! If we owned a log cabin my hubby would be in the boat off fishing and I would have to do all of the projects myself :>)

    Great picture of the robin and Marvin too. The boat is just waiting for someone with a fishing pole and worms.

    Shelley, the photo of the robin is AMAZING!! I just sat and stared at it. You and your camera are one great combination. I did notice that Marvin seemed very distressed about the porch stain situation. I could tell that by looking at the picture. I am sure Greg will want to appease Marvin very soon.
