Tonight the real-fun began as Dan and Stevan began cutting lumber and nailing together our first step!
I took the “skeeter-infested” job of cutting outside while Dan did all of the air-nailing inside! My legs look as though I have chicken pox!
This afternoon I found time to cut a sink-full of mint from our front mint-patch. Jess is currently letting it soak in the sink before she brews our first-ever gallon of Mint Tea – made famous by my mother! Sadly, this gallon will not be shared with the outside world – but maybe you can taste-test the next gallon?

I can’t wait for it to be ready!











Can’t wait to see the finished product! The studio not the tea!
maybe you can bring me and thomas some tea…oh and ella? because I love both…but ella more
