StormClouds  taken during one of our recent bad storms here in Wisconsin...

the clouds were building up!!!      Wishing you all a great Sunday  :)  

This is the beginning of my story about a 100 year old house that is next door to mine!  After looking at this "eye sore" since i bought my house in 2006, contractor  Bob  bought it!  He is now in the process of restoring it and eventually moving in! I am taking photos of the whole process and getting as excited as he is with each work of art that he does.. ( this is a one man project, he is doing it alone) 

 rebuilding     ( I do believe   when Bob is done, this house is going to be the best on the block in this little Wisconsin country town!)

design  ( this unique treasure was hidden under the hideous siding he has removed)

Thank you for viewing ! :)    Have a great Weekend everyone .....

Wishing you all  a very Happy Valentine's Day 2010 ...  This is the weekend for romance... Go for it!!!!!!!!

 A Rose for you       Blessings, Ms judi
