fortress project 1.0

  Truly amazing what the simple act of watering accomplishes out here in the desert.  If your yard looked like the left hand side upon moving in in Georgia in 4 weeks time it would either look the same or be a 6' tall forest of kudzu and weeds.

  Standard move in procedure: Secure whatever you can to the windows to allow you to sleep in past dawn.  I have been sewing miles and miles of oatmeal colored linen curtains.  They are finally up.  The Indian family who abandoned this place didn't leave much, not even a rod or a place for your tp.
  I thank my dad for ridding us of these hideous lights.  It was quite a process to take 6 lights down, take them all apart, scrub them, hang them, paint them and put them all back together again in 100° plus.

  If you've ever shopped for pendants then you know that they are some of the most priciest per square inch lights.  The antlers, although completely not me, have grown on me.  I smacked them with my modern stick (aka: new distressed frosted glass from bathroom fixture) and now I love them.
