Yesterday our next door neighbors had a first anniversary party.  There was a bunch of their family there to celebrate the event.  People sang, danced, and hugged. Food was eaten, drinks were poured, children played.

I had the strongest feeling that, this was just one in a long line of parties that have taken place on this corner.  People at one time rejoiced to other names, other families. The faces and names have changed, the dresses are different, cars bring people now instead of horses, but the sentiment is the same.    When Ed and I came home, before I even mentioned this eerie feelings of many generations, Ed said the same thing! This corner has hosted strong families for three hundred years and continues to. I am so happy to keep this tradition going.

--We are currently looking at getting some carriage house lantern lights for our carriage house. Ed is home next week so maybe??   Our greenhouse is doing well and continues to prosper.  Our garden is out of control, zucchini, green beans, peppers, tomatoes, cukes abound to just name a few of the things this earth has given us this year.   Alana got a few peacock eggs from her boyfriend, Joe, and they are in the incubator? Peacocks roaming our backyard soon? We shall see.  A few weeks back, Ed finished the last piece of fencing. We still have LOTS of clearing to do on the east side.

--Did I mention Ed thought he saw a ghost in the bathroom a few weeks back? And Kim is convinced that the house is haunted- she has spent a lot of time here recently.

--Please "Rate My Space" I have four rooms from our house up the HGTV "Rate my Space" site.  I would appreciate construction comments and good ratings for people who cannot appreciate how much it takes to renovate. 

-- We sent back more info to the state to be considered as a NJ Historic Place. Keep your fingers crossed

Enjoy the summer as it progresses.
