When Do You Get New Windows?

The wind is blowing outside...and inside. We still have the plastic on our windows to try to help insulate. The wind is blowing and proving that our current windows leak by taking the plastic off. We caulked late Summer early Fall last year trying to prepare and they still leak and the caulk is coming off. My parents insist upon trying to repair the windows instead of replacing because replacing is so expensive. But at what point do you say it's time to stop repairing and get new windows?

Right now there is a federal tax credit available, wouldn't now be a great time to replace the windows? Of course there are many other things that need to be done with the house and don't have enough funding to do them all this year. So the question remains, when do you get new windows?

Flowers Are Growing


More plants are sprouting in the garden. I don't really have a green thumb. So knowing what these plants are and how to care for them is something I don't have a clue how to do. And there are so many different plants out there that it's near impossible trying to identify what these are.


I've been told these are Grape Hyacinth. From pictures I do see similarities but have no idea if that is what these are. It's frustrating not to know what is in your own yard.
