Home Renovation Updates
Lisa’s Maximalist Backyard
Inspiring! I miss my back deck (and hot tub) so much!
Wellfleet Garden
I try to stop by the garden of my home under renovation periodically. I wish I could take a nap there, but it’s too stressful and I don’t even have running water yet.
Hot Tub Excursion in East Bay
Brought the dogs to my friend Peter Herman’s amazing backyard. Got some great hot tub in while the dogs explored a novel place for them. Had great music and snacks and great company practicing my Spanish and teaching him a bit of Italian. I’m so lucky to have him as a friend through these tough times especially. I’ll certainly appreciate my hot tub when I get home to Wellfleet Drive again.
I’m very pleased with how some of my selfies turned out, and also glad I didn’t drop my phone in the water!
Wind Spinner Nostalgia
Brought some of my wind spinners over to the rental so it feels a little bit more like home while I wait for the house to be renovated. They were being surrounded by bamboo and weeds that I’m unable to fully tend to for now, so I might as well enjoy them in the interim.
This is what the Wellfleet backyard roughly looks like these days:

Fridge Replacement
The one that came with the rental was depressing and will now be used for supplemental storage in the garage, but I really missed a real fridge with a water dispenser, so it was very stress relieving to have this one installed, even if it is not ultimately the one that goes into my renovated kitchen back home.
Piano Mover Joe
Feeling strong after moving a piano across town with one hired handyman on Taskrabbit. It’s nice to have a piano to practice on, even though I mostly play by ear. At first I wasn’t going to take the sheet music that came with it, but I’m so glad I did because one of them was Barbra Streisand!
