An Idea

So like most good ideas, I can blame them on a friend. In this case I blame Ski. She was visiting last week and we got to looking at the rather ugly and unused side of the house, off of the kitchen.

The space has two thing going for it. It is off of the kitchen and the Bar-B-Que is there. These are also it downfalls. the que is a necessary evil as far as I am concerned. It is the sorce of the delicious food that my husband produces....alone under the bare light bulb of the kitchen door light. {I know he deserves better, it's just that he never complains.}

So Ski and I were talking about my long running desire to have a long table. To host those long table dinners that look so good in magazines. You know the ones where a piece of raw squash on plate looks gourmet and every thing has a shallow focus [I think it is the wine that does that].

So Ski suggested the strange area next to my kitchen. It is not wide enough to be a driveway, not sunny enough to be a kitchen garden.

I got to thinking and we all know what that leads to....a blog.

The future looks like this.
Well, half of this.
