Yum, I love that sea salt one!<br />That's a good start to a reward for a job well done.<br /><br />I like being able to curl up in bed early in the evening to settle in with a magazine or good book, or the opportunity to scribble a few thoughts in my day journal.Brenda @ Its A Beautiful Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02955486477303938670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-75760923152838683412012-08-09T08:59:39.916-07:002012-08-09T08:59:39.916-07:00Just last night I finished off the last nibble of ...Just last night I finished off the last nibble of the same chocolate bar.

I always promise myself that I'll change but I always seems to slide back to the same habits. <br /><br />That was a very big tree and now your rental house looks bigger and brighter. I will soon have to learn what shrubs and flowers deers do not eat :)Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-29716058720270336212012-08-08T15:24:49.216-07:002012-08-08T15:24:49.216-07:00Promising myself a reward is the only way to persu...Promising myself a reward is the only way to persuade myself to do anything these days. A bit of chocolate usually works. What I need to do is train myself to go for a walk instead of sitting over a cup of tea and the computer, how much more sensible that would be.<br /><br />I always hate to cut down trees, but when big trees have been planted too close to a house that has to be, I suppose. Will a Nandina survive your winter climate? I have several but they take many years to grow to any decent size in my garden and I've lost one to a severe winter.Frikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277167831642088694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-19273106455514236492012-08-08T07:27:07.885-07:002012-08-08T07:27:07.885-07:00A reward at the end of the task is always a good t...A reward at the end of the task is always a good thing.

How about a trellis on that wall between the windows, a rambling rose or climbing Jasmine would be lovely.

In this market, renting is perhaps the way to go. We were lucky and sold our place in VA but it was on the market a year.
