A couple weekends ago, Steve and I decided to fill in a few spots in our front yard that seemed sparse. We felt that all of our plants have had enough time to grow in and that we have good feel of what the yard looks like year round.

Wow, I can't believe it has been a month since I have posted. oops! Really just haven't been in the writing mood.

When we purchased our Heywood Wakefield chairs from Rejuvenation a few years back, I made sure to ask them our to care for our almost 100 year old chairs that still had the original leather.

You wouldn't have guessed it was almost spring in Portland this morning. While snow is rare in P-town, it's basically unheard of in March.

Yesterday was an awesomely successful day as far as bano progress. Steve was a total rock star and I wasn't so horrible myself considering that I had the two little chit'rens to care for all day. Laurel and Ben cooperated by taking a decent nap so I got some stuff done and ready for Steve to take off running as soon...
