Can't wait to see this in full bloom. What I thought was a dead stick is blooming. So, summer time is coming up hard and fast, and life is getting crazy as we get things prepared for the start of the Scottish Highland Games season. So what do we do? Well, we put in an offer on a little vacation getaway spot that is about 45 minutes from home. It is going to take a fair number of weekends to get it all fixed up. Brilliant, right? In our copious amounts of spare time, we will have yet another project to deal work on. Oh and add to that some new characters are talking to me.
The great thing about this place is that we go up there quite a lot. Especially during the summer to spend time with our friends that have places there and we always have to come home at the end of the evening. One, because we need to take care of our fur kids and Two, well sleep is always a good thing.
Now with having a place of our own we won’t have to make that drive home to get to bed, and we can take the dogs with us. So excited about this and can’t wait for the closing so that we can start in on getting all the weeds pulled amongst other things to do there.
I did go up and take some before photos of how the outside area looks as well as the inside of the little trailer. I am posting some of those images with this post. I am not going to post the interior photos as the current owners are supposed to be coming down to get some of their personal belongs out before the deal closes.
What is driving me crazy about all of this is that closing should be within the first few days of June. Not far, correct? Sadly, the first weekend of June we will not be able to be there as we have the Bellingham Highland Games to attend and then the second weekend we have Anglicon down in Seattle. I will be putting up a post about Anglicon so you all can learn about that if you’re interested. My husband and I have been looking forward to that event for many months now.
The photos have different captions to them telling what we are going to do at our little hideaway. I will be taking some starts from my mint plants up there as well as other perennials for planting, once the weeding is done. I hope that everyone is having a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Please don’t forget to be thankful for the real meaning of this holiday. So many incredible men and women have lost their lives over the years defending this country. This time is to honor them not to be concerned with who is coming to a BBQ.
All though, in my opinion, every day is the day to be thankful for all those men and women. Not only those that serve in our armed forces but also on the police force, firefighters, search and rescue, and other emergency response teams.
Have a wonderful upcoming week and brightest blessing to you all.
Blessed Be.
