Crazy Plants and Other House Projects

We still haven't harvested any vegetables but the plants in our garden are growing like crazy. Here are some shots of the sunflowers, which are taller than we are, as well as the zucchini and cucumber end of the garden, which is so massive the access path is no longer accessible. At the bottom is a shot of a cucumber in formation. Its the first sign of something that actually looks like a vegetable so we are excited.

Sorry to keep posting about the garden, but not much else is going on around here and I'm trying to be better about posting more frequently.

I did start on some painting projects this week-end. Now that school is out I want to make some decorating progress. You'll never guess what I was doing ... painting more things black! I finally started on the upstairs hallway doors and also finally painted the last cabinet for the new office. Here are some in progress shots - when they are done and in place I'll send after shots! I've also finally started stripping the wallpaper border from the mini master bath. I bought paint for the master bedroom and bath the other day. That might be next week-end's project - if I get the doors finished. I only got 2 1/2 of 5 done yesterday.
