If you long for a mind at rest and a heart that cannot harden…go find a gate that opens wide into a secret garden. ~ author unknown

The English translation is The lake of swans, or to the french it is known as Swan Lake. Either way swans have always held a fascination for me.  Next to Cinderella the stories of The Wild Swans, The Swan Princess and The Ugly Duckling are ones I read time and time again. No surprise that Swan Lake is my favorite ballet. Let’s not forget the Grace Kelly movie The Swan.  Maybe it’s more than just a fascination?

In my last post I thought the grounds were done but,  after consulting with Henry it was decided to flattened the area and start over as it looked nothing like the inspiration piece.  Le lac des cygnes is a small build as over half the region is under water.  Just the Chateau, a small lake and enough land to walk around it was all that we required.  Not surprisingly, over half the prims are spent in landscaping alone.  The grounds are teaming with wildlife. The two main living levels are fully furnished and yes, there are prims to spare.  I had forgotten what could be done with just 5K prims.

Le lac des cygnes is open to the public 24/7. Please keep in mind that on rare occasions access may be denied when both Henry and I are in residence.  We hope you stop by and enjoy our little corner of the grid soon.  Be kind to one another.  TWMA♥

Somewhere Out There

Almost any garden, if you see it at just the right moment, can be confused with paradise. ~ Henry Mitchell

It’s been over a month since I last posted.  In that time my life, both 1st and 2nd have undergone many changes.   I’ve welcomed a new grandson into the family in 1st and have just found out that another grandchild will grace my family in January.  I am truly blessed.

The above photo is of a HS that Henry and I have recently leased together.  This should be quite an adventure for us both, and one we look forward to.  Lost Horizon is no more. While a piece of my heart will always remain there, I look toward the future and what it holds.  Besides, I brought a few must haves from Lost Horizon to this new build.  Now to figure out how to decorate within our prim allowance.  Anyone that visited Lost Horizon knows of what I speak.  So I like to decorate.  Duh!

As Henry does not get the opportunity to log in as often as I do, and with his blessing, the job of landscaping the grounds and decorating the house is my baby.  Well, one of my babies.  We do collaborate on the overall scheme of things and once an area is complete I do seek Henry’s opinion, though 99.9% of the time we are on the same page.

No credits today as I am saving that for when the place is complete.  I am excited about the new house and purposely hid much of it in the photo.  Having had my eye on it for some months, it wasn’t until I sought Henry’s opinion and he made the prediction I would buy the house before the week was out.  Yeah, I bought it the very same day lol.

Be kind to one another.  TWMA♥
