Morning Constitutional
On most
mornings you will find me puttering around the yard. Watering plants and such. Drinking coffee and enjoying all the hard
work that has gone into making Chez V a home.
When I first arrived on the scene, Chez V was the consummate bachelor
pad with no curb appeal. Slowly, we have
tried to beautify both the inside and out.

For as
much as I dream of having a bigger home with nicer things, I can say that I
will be sad to leave Chez V if and when that day comes. We have done almost all the work ourselves and every
ounce of sweat equity has been worth it.
Makes each and every corner so much more meaningful. By far, the outside projects have been the
most arduous but the most satisfying.
With the exception of the big pines and maple trees, I have planted
every tree, shrub, and plant on this property.
I jack hammered the front walkway, laid pavers, dug a back patio, laid lots
more pavers, dug a 2,000 gallon pond with a shovel, and hauled 20,000
lbs of fieldstone from building sites to my backyard. You can read more about the patio project here.
So every flower, every path, every arbovitae, every pebble has meaning. And I really enjoy taking my morning
constitutional around this tiny corner we’ve carved out for ourselves.
