Fits and starts

I've been meaning to take more photos and post, but I keep thinking about it after I've left DGE. There's been a lot of progress, and now another lull.

We have:
* A new roof (yay! and just before the first rain)
* New gutters (though no downspouts or water exit yet, which made for a nervous night last night with the pouring rains)
* TYVEK! The house is wrapped, and ready for siding.
* Windows: All except for one that came damaged, and one (laundry room greenhouse-style) that still needs to be purchased.

Here it is:

Up next: trim (we've finally settled on width and style; then siding (part of it was delivered last week, more to come tomorrow). But all that has to wait until our early rains stop.

Until then, here are some pix of our beautiful Dahlias. I think I'm in love!

This one bloomed in late summer

This and the ones below are the last 3 week's beauties
