Okay, I stopped at Home Depot on my way back from dinner with Linda and selected several sage greens that are more to my liking. I knew when I got up this morning and peered out at the Inn from the little house and saw that color, I knew that it was not going to work and I would need to choose something else.  I swear, it looked like track housing.  Too light, too green. It had no contrast with the stone part of the Inn and looked, well, it looked pitiful.  I’ve decided to use a pure white for the trim, dark green on the back door and rustic red on the front door amid the stone entrance way.  I think tomorrow I’ll run out in the morning and pick up the right color.

     The weatherman said it will be in the 70-75 – good day for working outside. I have a bit of writing to finish and then I’ll have some time for myself.  I finished making my notecards this morning.

     Oh yea. Remember I said I had this new recipe to try out? Well, I made it this morning knowing I would share with my committee members and hopefully get some honest feedback. It sure smelled good. Everyone said it good. Then I took a bite and said I didn’t care for the taste. I felt it should have been a bit sweeter. Others started to agree and I finally got to the bottom for what was missing.  I think no one wanted to hurt my feelings. Actually no one did. The criticism was constructive.  The tea cake was good but not my best.  It’s nothing like my Cranberry Nut Bread.  So I think I will have to revisit this recipe and see what I can do to make it better.  I know I’m on to something. It’s just not quite right yet.

     The flowers are coming into bloom now in front of the Inn and filling in the front walkway and the scent is heavenly and fragrant.
