Day 313

I guess I am ready for spring. This has been a weekend of planning. We are trying to figure out where we might like to have things (outside), garden, swing, conservatory, porch, fences, paths, flowers, etc. We are getting excited about planting things. Yes, I know it is way to early. I say this as we watch another 5 -8 inches of snow fall outside. But still I am thinking about it.

We have also taken two trips to the library to search for information on our house. We have not yet found anything. But we will keep looking. We really think our house had a front porch at one time. And we would like to know what it had looked like to help us plan the future porch.

I did a lot of searching on the internet. I found a couple of really cool looking conservatories. Right now we are not sure if we will have it attached to the house or separate. I was also looking for designs for the garage. We would like to make the garage a little bit wider, and have a second floor on it. Then there would be a bridge path connecting the second floor of the garage to the first floor kitchen. This bridge would also create a covered walkway from the ground level of the garage to the basement.

I am pretty sure about some of the flowers that I want to plant. Mostly I want to know where I want to put them. So I need to have an idea of where things should go. We also need to get the swings up for the kids and if we are lucky build a little Victorian playhouse for them. It would be nice to have these ready when the weather gets warmer.
