The Finishing Touch

June 12, 2008              Questions concerning the Robin in the May 28 article below

To the many who e-mailed to ask if the Robin in the wreath (pictured below) was real, yes it is real! The wreath was previously purchased by a customer in Swarthmore, Pa, and when she got it out to hang on her door in the spring of this year, she temporarily laid it on the side of her house. Before she got back to it, she found that a Robin had "nested" in it. She waited for the "babies" to hatch before finally hanging the wreath on the door. In the interim, she called and told Dee about it, and when Dee was in the neighborhood, she stopped and took a picture of the Robin in the nest!

A reformatting and updating of the complete site is also in progress. This will take some time but it has started with this release.

We will also be adding more examples of Dee's decorating and landscaping work. Unfortunately, we have not been diligent about taking pictures, but will go back and try to get more pictures of completed work, and we will be more diligent in the future with "before" and "after" pictures.
