Our friends love our house so some of them plan their events here:
Surprise Bday party in May and a Tea Party Sonia is throwing on June 4th! So I am pushing Robert along to get some of the items we can accomplish done! Jess moved all his stuff out of our secondary storage at the Pool House this past week so all the tools in my "living room" can go over there and neatly be placed on shelving. Big STEP!! I might be able to see my living room floor again!! Havent seen it since mid Feb!
Today Robert is hanging lights on the deck - yes its almost time to take down the Christmas icicle lights. Pics to follow soon!

What's Next?
Well, soon we will be picking colors for the guest bedroom and living room. It's a scary thought though as I love color, but also trying to keep the place on the elegant side of "cottage". Maybe I should just stick with whimsical instead!
It's always something.... and this time its SPRING!
After months of working on THE project, yes in capital letters, we have been instead working on landscaping. It gives us some satisfaction to see things take hold and begin to grow. So far we have a new fuschia - they are very temperamental unless in EXACTLY the right spot and we got a miracle because by accident ours ended up there. Grown 6" already in 6 weeks. Typically when they are full grown they are about 4-6 ft tall and as wide as they can spread. Beautiful blooms. And no dont come by and pop ours!! As kids we did that to my grandmother's plant every time we walked by! POP. POP.POP.
Also planted cilantro and basil. I dont know if you know but in January, our beautiful basil plant went swimming in the pond. It never recovered and finally died completely dispute our trying to nurse it back to health. I wont mention who knocked it in but the person must have lost balance with the corona in his hand and kicked it in accidentally when he was dancing around the deck one afternoon.
We are dedicating one area to Asian spices - so far we have lemon grass, chives, pandena (sp?), and soon to be ginger! More coming as we continue getting clippings!
