Only lost one rose bush, it was young and only recently planted, so though we mourn its loss, it is not as if we'd formed any great bonds with it as yet. Perhaps we'll replace it with another, and perhaps we'll just wait and see.

We're now up to 13ish windchimes in our back yard. Three are solar powered and have LED's in them that light up and cycle through blue, green, red, purple and yellow adding nicely to the nightime ambiance of the yard. With all of them chiming in the wind it is a nice symphony, especially with the rush of the wind through the boughs of the trees and the trickling of the waterfall into the pond. Some of the chimes could use a little maintence, but then so can most of the yard after our absence.

I'm really looking forward to getting fish into my pond SOON! I've just got to figure out where the closest place that sells what I want is and when I can afford the time for the trip.

All in all life is good, I've quit my job at the hospital and am working on another that should allow me to do what I want when I want so that I can work from anywhere anywhen that works for me. I'm stoked by this opportunity because it means I'll finally have time to do a number of projects that I've dreamed of working on for years but not had the time or energy for before. Life is good.

And even though the ball for this year is now past, here is this years flyer, I'll post next years when I get it. Pics from the show are soon to follow.
