Non-productive weekend

Well, I survived helping out with the school's silent auction last night. It was loads of fun and everyone was in good spirits, which was wonderful. We have a good group of families and staff!

Today, I am still coughing and hacking, so I have taken it easy. Eddie is painting in the garage to prepare his new studio. We did go out and look at where the wild rhododendrons/azaleas are that are blooming with the most delightful, pale pink. We're going to clear out around them to give them a bit more light and also to be able to place a bench near them so we can use them as a photo backdrop, too!

It is possible to drop thousands of dollars on landscaping to use your yard as an outdoor studio, but I am constantly amazed at how nature can provide everything needed, if you just look and find it. In our case, we do need to work on our landscape, but it will take very little to have a beautifully framed garden bench with lovely pink blossoms arching overhead. Can't wait to have a chance to start on that!
