Citrus Trees??

I went to go get one of the cars safety/emissions inspected today and while I was in the waiting lobby, I read the Martha Stewart Living magazine for the month of February. Let's just say that I am sold on the following item: a dwarf citrus tree that can grow indoors. They had a big article on how to care for them, which grower they recommend, etc. The only problem is which tree should we get? I would absolutely love a lime tree, but maybe a grapefruit or lemon.

I mean, really, isn't this the cutest thing you've ever seen??



For anyone interested or curious, here's the website of the company Martha Stewart recommends. fourwindsgrowers.com

Tile

Someone told me that the last post I made was kind of a "debbie downer" post and that we needed to do an update on all of the construction.

Our room has been drywalled, mudded, textured, painted, carpet pad replaced, and the carpets have been cleaned all within the last week-ish. We finally have everything ready to be able to move back in just as soon as we want.

This weekend we will be tiling our bathroom, thanks to the help of our wonderful brother-in-law Paul. John's dad came over last night and was a HUGE help in getting the Hardiebacker down so John and Paul can cut tile and get it laid tonight. I'll be sure to take pictures to post of the transformation. Yay for maybe having a toilet upstairs again by Monday, or maybe Tuesday at the latest. I might cry.
