snap peas starting to fatten up (2-3 inches long)

tiny baby fava pods (half an inch long)

Hello Mars fans! I am here, guest blogger #1, to serve you, loyal readers. I am here at the behest of our mutual friend Bob the Builder, a.k.a Doozer, a.k.a. Oscar the Grouch, who has asked me to keep you well informed of all the goings on here on Mars while she is back east. The story of this week was waiting. Waiting and waiting around. Tuesday I waited around for 3 folks we hired for a couple hours to carry heavy things. We actually couldn't figure any better way to get the heaviest stove ever created up into the house. 2 of 3 men showed up so I ended up gloving up and helping lug that gigantic beast up our stairs and into the house. It was touch & go for a bit, but we got it in. Here it is - stripped of anything we could get out or off of it to make it lighter. We'll soon move it back and into that left corner, but we needed access for the repairs and to move the wall mounted heat shield up a wee bit.

No work on the house again this week. Instead, we both flew back to New Hampshire to say goodbye to my father, Bob. 1962 He was a funny, humble, affable guy. He was a fixture in the neighborhood, spending summers sitting on his deck, looking out on the lake, and waving to neighbors driving by.

Bob was born on June 3, 1944 in Lowell, MA, to Albert Desrosiers and Florence (Lemire) Desrosiers. He loved playing the guitar, spending time on his boat, and cooking for his family. He was also a proud veteran of the Navy. He leaves his devoted wife, Toni Desrosiers of Derry, NH; his daughter Christine Desrosiers and her partner Adrienne Johnstone of San Franci...

Coming To The End

Mr. Bunkport tells us that they're just about done. Here's what they accomplished today: A very nice looking threshold. No toe-stubbing here. Lots of insulation, lots of sheetrock. Window trim! Trim on the section that got cut back to avoid head-bumping. And then this weird Blair Witch thing. Next, the rest of the sheetrock & putting in the floor, then some odds & ends, like replacing the dryer vent. If the weather holds, we should be in very good shape for the weekend!
