Christmas in July


at least it seems that way. I have already begun discussion with the Midland Historical Society about publicity and marketing for this year's display for Blue's Christmas Village. I have completed two houses and working on a third. I hope to have several more done by November 17th when it has to go up. There is an odd sense about the village. It is like it has a specific purpose and MY purpose is to see that it's purpose is fulfilled. I become excited when I think about it. I love watching people's faces as they lose themselves in the set up. My husband calls me an urban planner. I don't really plan much. I start setting them out and then they sort of tell me where they want to go. What happens in the end seems to come from somewhere else.

so...here it is 80 degree weather and I am thinking of the Christmas village. this year to go up the week before Thanksgiving. but I have included a picture of my Ernest Markham Clematis on the old birdhouse. I love the homey look.

MORE good news. My son is a semifinalist in the Bush's baked beans perfect pairs competition. hopefully he will get enough votes to make it to the final cookoff and be lucky enough or good enough to win his backyard makeover.
