Garden & Outdoor Space

This outdoor space is quite inviting.  A wonderful spot to do nothing… maybe a little reading, drinking or napping. At night, it’s a cozy place to sit by the fire and roast a few marshmallows.

Vern, a retired teacher and Ruthie, an interior designer have worked tirelessly transforming their outdoor space from grass and overgrown rhododendrons to a place of entertainment and relaxation. They kept the color pallet simple, using mainly white and shades of green and mixing in other plants and flowers.  For more inspirations and ideas, you can follow Ruthie on Pinterest.

Thank you Vern & Ruthie Cook for sharing your garden with us.

Back to School … NOT on the Supply List

Back to school is not around the corner, it’s here!  The calendar is filling up with activities, meetings and what needs to be done yesterday.  When the school supplies are finished, the sense of “At least I got something done!” helps.  This supply list is not mandatory, it’s optional. I hope you will find something helpful, fun or entertaining.
