Manic Mondays

Well, not so manic... more like  "super productive mondays".

Right off the bat, I FINISHED MY TAXES!!!  Oh god it feels good.  

I should have done it all electronically, but I needed a hard copy for my files and just wasn't interested in paying money to send it via the internet...But I suppose with the amount of paper I used, plus ink, plus riding over to the post office to wait in line FOREVER and paying for postage, it may have worked out to be the same price.  

Well, now I know.
...

I also looked at a terrace today in Williamsburg... I think we are going to do a "masculine working garden" theme.  The client said he was learning to cook so this will be another fun addition to the kitchen... herbs and such.

There is a massive condo being built that will look directly into his apartment when it's done, so a plant screen of sorts will have to be incorporated.  

Exciting exciting!

...

And lastly, I had planted two lavender plants in one of my window boxes. 

A client from last summer had moved last week into a balcony-less apartment.  He asked me to take them off his hands and to make him a set of interior special plantings... (The interior planting is work-in-progress at the moment.)  

I have one more lavender to pick up from him.  I'm thinking it will be planted in the left window box next to my Blue Boy Clematis.  

I had a dream the other night about my two window boxes- a vision, sort of. White Cosmos flowers, white Ranunculus, (which will be short lived but gorgeous), the purple/silver lavender (which I just planted) the existing blue flowered Clematis and a couple Persian Shields.  

I do my best designing in my dreams. 

After planting the lavenders, I pruned up one them up because it had been bit by the winter a little harder than the others. 

I'm going to save these clippings because they smell so nice, maybe sew up a little satchel for them and make little scented gift pouches for my friends... oh the crafter in me can't stop!

Well, anyways, Mondays... they are just fine by me.

Off to organize the basement/make notes on the new terrace client/hit up the bank.

Enjoy the week!
