I have been able to plan and work with the city of DC to improve the land surrounding my home whereby it would add to the health of the local water shed.
The city has a program entitled RiverSmart which offers homeowners support with the placement of rain barrels, shade trees, landscaping and pavers all intended to reduce the amount of water run off entering the sewer system. So far they have placed a rain barrel which collects rain from the roof and provides an additional water source for the garden. Come fall the same program is scheduled to add shades trees and new purvious pavers to the property for a nominal copay.

Recent Details Add Comfort
I would have thought I would have written at least a dozen post on my transition into home ownership. But at last there is only so much time in a day.
I continue to move forward with making my house a home. One of my tangible accomplishments since my last post has been resolving detail in the bath room. I have added a glass shelf for towels which works as well as I had envisioned, as well as installing a very sheer shower curtain that is more decorative than functional.
The addition of an area rug in the den adds feeling of comfort there, as does the small area rugs whose color and fabric adds substance to the bath and kitchen were they have been added.
