I love to complain about this house!  That's no secret.  But I want to share one of the main reasons we bought it, and it's a small one:

The waterfall.

Now, this is something that we NEVER would have done ourselves...and I mean never!  But it was one of the first things I noticed when I walked in: the kitchen windows were open, and the sound of the water made me feel like I wasn't in a busy DC suburb anymore.  It just gives the house a great, relaxed vibe (the household chaos aside, ha! As long as the boys are awake, we don't quite do "relaxed!")  :-)

I'm going to take pictures of the screened in porch and deck area, just as soon as the construction is finished...or maybe sooner, because the reason I started this blog was to document our renovation, ugly reality and all. 

But for now, here's another little moment of Zen for your Tuesday:

Oh I am jealous of your waterfall! That is a wonderful garden feature. We have a ditch (haha) that has some rocks in it. When we get a really have rain, it is like a flowing stream...but that is as "waterfall-y" as we get here. A porch overlooking your waterfall would be great!

Awww, thanks Kelly! That's hilarious about the ditch. I think it qualifies as a waterfall if water falls over it. ;-)

One time after a big rain, the boys kayaked down our "stream with rocks" over and over again. It even had a "baby waterfall" for rapids. So I guess it does count for a waterfall.
