Well.... this photo (the cherry tree in the back yard last spring) is the OPPOSITE of things right now (the leaves are down and the rains have come), but it is how I FEEL. a world of new growth and wonder!!!!

I speak, of course, of the renovation. We knocked out the dining room wall, put in glass sliding doors, and built a deck (16' by 20')! We also copied Glen and Janet, and stuck a hot-tub in the back yard.

It is getting used by the whole family, especially at night (it has lights inside that change colours.... a nice '70s effect... all we are missing now is the disco ball underneath the deck to complete the look).

The view from the hot tub will never match the view from Glen and Janet's, but I will admit that it is still pretty nice sitting in the hot water at night, looking up at the stars (on those rare occasions in victoria when the cloud lift enough for us to SEE the stars)

so... stay tuned for a photo of our new spring growth (to the house)
