Yard-gasm 2010
By Brandice in Main, PicturesAre you ready to see the fruits of our hard labor throughout the month of May?

Air Plants
By Brandice in Main, PicturesI’m really loving my air plants (tillandsia). Anyone else an air plant lover? If you’ve never heard of them, they’re incredibly easy to manage, cheap to buy (tons of them on Etsy), and I think they’re beautiful. No roots, no soil, just some sunlight and weekly water soaking. You can glue them to just about [...]

Mid-April Blossoms
By Brandice in Main, PicturesFlowering crab apple tree (at the time of this picture, the tree was beautifully tinged with pink and all the blossoms were a pinkish color and now everything is completely white aside from the “unhatched” buds still remaining): Holly bushes!

I’m sitting at my desk (which is no longer under piles and piles of boxes and various non-unpacked rubble) waiting for Laura to call me to pick her up at the airport, because this weekend is… OUR HOUSEWARMING! I am completely psyched, and our house is in really good shape, considering [...]

Life is really good right now. Today, Jim and I signed [...]
