Can you even fathom that it is November already so everyone knows what that means at TSH . . . preparations have begun for our FOURTH annual Forevermore holiday celebration and decorating extravaganza.
The cooler overnight temps have everyone at the night eatery (aka the Honey Shack) feeling their oats. Jasper is looking pretty stinking comfy in the late afternoon sun as he stands watch on what began as his safe haven.
As we near the end of October, it feels like one moment it was summer and the next, fall had fallen! Inside and out, everyone - finned, 4-legged, and green - is beginning to hunker down into the upcoming season when we all celebrate the rest and introspection resulting from the harvest and bounty of spring and summer.
Miss P is typically NEVER out of words but this is an exception. We have been investing energy and resources of all dimensions in this massive outdoor reno and it is nothing short of phenomenal.
As we near the full moon and the fall equinox, I am thinking that the term ‘lunatic’ is an apt commentary. Our raccoon family of mama and three babies recently found three over-ripe peaches outside the backdoor and tried to sneak away from the scene of the crime undetected.
The days and nights are breezy and nearly balmy. Brightness and luminosity abound . . . We miss you INSIDE AND OUT so how about checking us out again this fall?
We picked up our new metal from Roger at Valley Fabrication and Joshua went right to town cutting, welding, and designing Cousin Cousine’s new ballet bar. We hope she likes it and begins to ‘marginally’ cooperate in following it. Who am I kidding, as if wisteria can be trained – ha!
TSH commitment to supporting the food bank by weekly cooking for the community was put to the acid test this week when Food Bank Ann reported that we were down to nearly NONE of our containers and that donations had been sparse this week.
Those darned sneaky butts Katie and Mike, owners and creative genius behind Painless Stitches, surprised us with an unexpected treasure-trove of more of our outdoor makeover and again, we are silenced by their creativity and design eye.
Mike, Richard, and Jose brought us more new treats and planned the final assault on this monumental reno. Measurements were taken, we strategized the next and final wave of facelifts, and the ultimate coup will be the addition of about 30 throw pillows to soften and complete the entire look.
