Spent the morning at Manor Gardens in Phoenix. It being the first year the garden has a long way to go. Many plans in the works! Will be nice once we get the trellis in for the roses and the walkway. Will be redoing some of the raised beds this fall and putting in ground planting-never was a fan of raised beds in Phoenix-lot's of work ahead!

One thing that has done extremely well has been the sage. The dirt in the raised beds needs to be tested for mineral deficiencies. I have always been of firm believe plant in the dirt of where you live versus bringing in "soil". The sage though has proven me wrong.

Well guess what arrived today!

This was a find on Craig-list chair was only 65.00 but needed to be recovered, the guy threw in the leather he had. Sit Well Upholstery came and picked it up and for 250.00 recovered it making it work with the leather we had. They did a great job on a cool chair, the leather is an off purple color.

This is the brass plaque on the back of the chair and all of the wood was totally refinished, one less project for me. I hope it last another 100 years.  Also shampooed the carpets today since i had to stay and wait for the delivery. Kristi let me borrow her carpet cleaner. To think i was going to replace those carpets almost 7 years ago, granted no kids they are lasting alot longer! Maggie is the worst ok maybe not we all contribute to the mess, but they look great now!
