What a wonderful weekend in Meadows of Dan, VA

Leslie was spinning in the front yard, 

 Mountain Meadow Crafts artist's were on full display!

  

Beautiful day in Meadows of Dan!

Took a little time to try my hand a coloring a doodle!  This is the first one and I'm hooked!  So hooked I went and bought a brand new set of markers like I didn't have enough already!  

It's been quite busy around here.  With so much rain here it's taken a bit more time to get to this point!

The block wall have been built along with waterproofing.  Backfilled around walls, seeded for grass!

Now for more excitement in the coming months the main floor will be built!

Wanted to share this wonderful caricature that Eden created at Draw-Doodle-Decorate.  Go over and check her site out she's a fantastic artist.  This is such a great gift idea!!   Thanks Eden!!! http://geeden.blogspot.com/
