    Thank you everyone! This was such a nice surprise to wake up to :) I really appreciate all the lovely comments too. The renovations are going well, and will be going on for a while yet, but the gardens are coming along really well so far. My seedlings are doing great and I've built my raised beds. The garden no longer looks like a construction site! I am probably building a chicken coop in the fall, which seems too far away right now! You can keep up with my progress at www.wolfandfinch.wordpress.com

    thanks again!
