Great advice. My father was a plumbing/heating contractor and one thing we DO have are spigots on all 4 sides of the house! But "juice"... another story. We built on a shoestring budget (the place was sheetrocked and we had the 4 required doors when we moved in) and did we include the 10-15% for "landscaping", what do you think? hand in hand, went our naive oversight with respect to electricity. There is a reason building is expensive, there's a reason architects, landscape architects "earn" those fees that are so often the first to be cut in the "budget". Do I "regret" our oversight in that respect? On one hand, YES! it's so much more work to add electricity to a site after the fact, and it costs more. But we moved in for an "easy" mortgage payment that accorded us the luxury of "free time" to do the finish work ourselves. We were debt free in 10 years and while it was galling to deal with our initial oversight, we've had the benefit of watching the hardscape evolve and knowing where and when to concentrate our investment. When we built, we couldn't possibly have afforded "full boat" nor would we have been able to foresee what would be required. BUT, if you are able to afford it... do it NOW.

We had bologna/cheese and tomato sandwiches on double fiber bread (have to keep the system going) for lunch today. I've made chocolate mousse many times, sometimes with eggs and other times with powdered gelatin. I don't know what I like best. What do you like best?

Thanks for the reminder. Now we'll be eating dinner one hour later because I'll be staying outside one hour later. :)

My neighbors prolly think I am nuts now. LOL, just came back in from howling at the moon. I had to walk across the street, to get a good look at it. To many trees between me and the moon in the back yard. Sure is big, round, and bright. Well, I know, it isn't 10:30 yet, but I am tired and turning in. Good night all Moni
