Some are dying since we have had a bit of a drought lately but I am trying to keep them alive without using up too much water. I think I will look into some drought friendly plants and more native species. <br /><br />You are totally right. "The" definitely needs to go in front. I want to get a sign made up. I am leaning towards The Camphor Cottage or The Camphorwood Cottage. <br /><br />A few thrifted books are worth having. I love the beautiful books you have featured. <3 TheRedolentMermaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025330454820306972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-71233407058934007902019-09-29T08:49:37.704-04:002019-09-29T08:49:37.704-04:00Reading!!!!

Can't wait to see how our challenge wraps up! Author events are so exciting, you'd think I'd have more access working in a library, but we're such a small market we cant afford the speaker fees. <br />I do enjoy the plants around your yard<3 If you haven't decided on a name, may I suggest whatever you choose contains 'The' preceding it. As in, 'The Burrow' its somehow cozier.<br />I'm gonna go ahead and blame you for re-kindling my thrifting bug, it had gotten nearly out of control the last 3 months, but I've reigned it in. It's hard to deny oneself books, though, ya know?<br />Jaybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15849863681125100236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-72087736961886215342019-09-16T19:31:04.378-04:002019-09-16T19:31:04.378-04:00No damage at all, thankfully, though we had a few ...No damage at all, thankfully, though we had a few days of some pretty wicked storms. And boo, our passes have already run out - ran 'em down at the very beginning of the month. I shouldn't gripe too much, as we definitely got our money's worth out of them - 21 in-park days alone, crazy buggers that we are. :)Sandra Lewreyhttp://fingercandy.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-54900040207382845412019-09-15T09:05:51.840-04:002019-09-15T09:05:51.840-04:00I bet it was remnants of Dorian that cycled up the...I bet it was remnants of Dorian that cycled up there. It was a seriously powerful storm. Are you ok? You didn't have any damage did you? I would hate for that after all your renovation trials already. I am so sorry you had to cancel but it was definitely for the best. Despite all the tech the meteorologists still don't have a handle on predicting these things (not that I expect them to) and it is better to stay home and safe. When do your passes run out? I love that she is excited to have these smells too. Hoping to make them pleasant associations.

I'm sure that now that I've said that "out loud," it will all collapse, lol. <br /><br />The Bahamas situation - I don't even know what to say. It's so upsetting and horrific. I need to do something to help, too, but I'm not sure what yet. futurowomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772755069537635296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-87787631194049218212019-09-12T08:55:48.099-04:002019-09-12T08:55:48.099-04:00So glad the hurricane seemed to pass you by. Weir...So glad the hurricane seemed to pass you by. Weirdly enough, the east coast of Canada got hit HARD this past weekend. Pretty well all of Newfoundland was without power for the weekend and the beginning of this week. We even got some blowback here in the form of a few insane storms. I don't even want to talk about how aggravated I am that we had to cancel our Florida holiday, but I'm ultimately glad we weren't there, caught up in unpleasant weather, just getting in the way. Or at least that's how I'm trying to look at it. :) It's super cute that your daughter has such sweet scent memories. That's such a powerful one, too - she'll always think "Fall at home" when she smells those kind of scents. :)Sandra Lewreyhttp://fingercandy.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-32355150491350836072019-09-09T18:55:19.709-04:002019-09-09T18:55:19.709-04:00Thank you!

The school I work at is organizing some relief for the Bahamas and I am hoping the girls and I can gather some stuff and money to send. <br /><br />I am leaning towards the Camphor ones too. Mainly because they dominate the backyard. And I am a sucker for camphorous scents. I definitely would like to get a sign. <3 But like you, that won't come for a little bit yet. I still need to grab some rugs, couches, chairs, light fixtures... heck. A lot! But we are here for the long haul so no rush. <3 Hope your school year is going well.

I think partially what holds me back is that my regular home is not decorated how I want yet and I still have crap here and there that needs to be taken care of. It freaks me out a little to add to that but I KNOW it would make me happy to have it out and celebrating even if it is just a little. <br /><br />Ooooooo!!! Pumpkins in September!!! You a rebel!! I have melted through this basket so fast. I am ready to make a new one. <br /><br />Thank you! Camphorwood House will be in the top running. <3TheRedolentMermaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025330454820306972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-79740082190597160732019-09-06T09:19:27.101-04:002019-09-06T09:19:27.101-04:00I'm so relieved that Dorian left you alone! Wh...I'm so relieved that Dorian left you alone! What a relief. <br /><br />I love the idea of naming your house (clearly!) :) Of the four you propose, I love them all. Camphor Cottage - this one is probably my favorite! I love the alliteration of it. Camphorwood House, though, is more majestic! Any of the four will be perfect! <3 I still haven't gotten a sign for ours yet, but I have it on my list and I just need to find the right style and save up some $. Will you get a sign for your home's name? futurowomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772755069537635296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-13547338473701263372019-09-05T08:01:02.275-04:002019-09-05T08:01:02.275-04:00Yes, you need to decorate.

That's all non-pumpkin stuff, like leaves and apples and such. My pumpkin decorations won't come out till October, with the Halloween stuff. I am cheating at the moment though, and melting Pumpkin Spice Latte wax I found at Walmart.<br /><br />I have no house name suggestions but of the ones you mentioned I like Camphorwood House best.<br /><br />~DebAchy Joints Creationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06673212342887009150noreply@blogger.com
