Wisteria is Blooming

We had a BBQ a couple of weeks ago. Back then the wisteria vine hugging the pergola was barely budding. Earlier this week, the vine is in full bloom…

oh, our wedding / house warming gift, a yellow delicious apple tree, is also beginning to flower. I love spring, and should really learn how to garden properly to keep the yard pretty

Did I mention I love our new house.

We had a couple things in mind when we bought the house. It had to be bigger than Hongying’s old appartment, it would be nice if it had a basement, a 2 car garage and was close to a bike trail. It also needed to have good public transport links to get Hongying to her work in DC.

Now that we are living here I am loving the fact that we have a real kitchen where I have the space to cook. I have all the computers in a room away from the cat litter box. I can bike to work on the W&OD trail which is about 1/2 a mile from the house. One thing we didn’t realize was that we would only be a couple miles from a swimming pool which is also seconds away from the W&OD trail.

Oh and the cats like the extra space to run or sleep in.

Recipes

Thank you to all the people that turned up for our house warming party. As a thank you I have posted up some of the recipes so far I have added the Dahl Soup and the Vegetarian Lasagna. I will post the recipes for the pizza dough I used when I get home
