May the luck of the Irish be with everyone who reads this. The leprechauns are out and about the celtic music is playing and the wearing of the green is upon us. Even if your not Irish St.Patrick’s Day is a wonderful day of happiness and cheer. We have added a new St. Patrick’s Day tree to the village setup this year. It is very festive and of course “Green”. The table is dressed with all kinds of adornments. As we swing through March in anticipation of the Easter Season we can begin to smell spring in the air. We have marched (no pun intended) right into another project here at CTG’s. We are ready for the renovation to begin in the garage. This will gives us more much needed storage space and a little sprucing up to the entry way. Can’t wait till it is done and hopefully it will be as beautiful as I planned. Who doesn’t need more storage. I am beginning to equate storage with my close friend Craiglist. HaHaHaHa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Found a great little chandelier ( of course, Craiglist ) that I am going to convert to a teacup chandelier. Wish me well, I have never drilled into china before but I am going to give it a whirl. I have a couple odd pieces I will attack first in case they explode and shatter all over on me. But I like the idea of doing it myself thanks A.L. you encouraged me on that one.
With the garden season pounding on our door there are still plenty of decisions to be made regarding the gardens. We have decided to move the giant watering can into the driveway garden to give it more exposure. We are going to revamp this garden a little bit pulling out some bushes and also some perennials. We would like it to be a little more guests friendly. Perhaps put a walkthrough in to connect the 2 driveways. We will be adding some additional lighting in the back formal garden. We are going to be spotlighing the willows. We think this give a great look on a breezy evening . Those trees just seem to dance in the breeze so lighting them will definetly add a component of beauty to them. We are still thinking about the annuals that will be planted in the larger beds this year haven’t quite decided what we will use. We have some other plans lurking in our minds but those require alot of work and we promised no big projects this year. But wait we are working on a big project right now the garage. See how quickly things change here. So one ever knows what will happen next. We have some pretty big events taking place this summer here in the gardens and we are excited about them.
As the plans progress and the work gets done I will be downloading some new pics. Stayed tuned for those. I will also begin work on the painting process of the giant leaf castings that took 3 people to move off the deck. Man, those things are heavvvvvvvvvvvvvvvy. But I can’t wait to see them painted. I will post pics of them also and perhaps the process of the painting will a good topic for the blog.
Well, dinner is calling and I think I have summed things up for another month. So TTFn, Think Spring, it is coming.
