Su casa es mi casa

We have two Americans visiting the lab for protocol training. They came to the house for BBQ dinner last night, and we walked around the property and in the red mud of the Bay across the street. We had a bonfire under the stars and drank Canadian beer.

A friend is staying in the guest room over the next month or two, on and off, as she transitions into a new job and potentially a new locale. She loves gardening and can't wait to plant my veggie patch.

Another nice young lady is planning on moving her camper to our lot, since she is working up the street from our rural property at a bird sanctuary/wildlife interactive centre. She said she'd help paint the house if we would share our plumbing; the trade seems pretty fair. I bought primer today, and hubby picked up some staging on the weekend. We're all ready to go attack the house and turn it into a picturesque yellow farmhouse. I like the colour palette of this house, although it's locale is obviously much more tropical. But the warm yellow, cool grey-ish blue and bright white look sharp.
