Change isn’t just one thing, just one time, just one big revelation. Change occurs in stages, and phases, which each add depth, color, character, and create a multidimensional, multifaceted you. ~ Doe Zantamata

The Summer Greenhouse at Lost Horizon, Azumi.

Early on in our relationship Henry treated me to a tour of his region that had the most magnificent greenhouse/conservatory I had seen. While that region no longer exists I have always had the desire to create something along the same lines at Lost Horizon. I looked high and low for just the right build, finally settling on Cheeky Peas Summer Greenhouse. The size was right and the overall look was just about near perfect to what I had in mind.

My vision includes a fountain situated in the middle as the focal point, with several areas for couples to sit, cuddle, dine and dance. Of course there must be a multitude of plants and flowers everywhere, along with the sound of birds happily chirping away.

The landscaping surrounding the build is complete for the most part. The fountain is in place and I have pulled out every potted plant and flower from my stash. Therein lies a problem though. It seems some of the plants and flowers are shy and pull a disappearing act when placed inside the build. I haven’t quite figured out a solution yet. But I will.

For those that are going to be out and about, do have a safe and happy New Year’s Eve. I am staying home all tucked in on my favorite chaise next to the fireplace staying warm, reading a good book and drinking my favorite wine. Or, I might just pop into SL and dig in pixel dirt. Happy New Year and remember to be kind to everyone. TWMA♥

Lost Horizon was always meant to be a place where Spring/Summer never ended. That all changed on a fateful photography shoot to Calas Galadhon that got my inspiration juices flowing and longing for the reds, golds, yellows and browns of autumn that just would not be denied. So I found myself investing in season changing trees, instead of shoes and one day I just dug right in and started. I pulled up every shrub and tree in the meadow, forest, landing point and around the main house. I planted, modified, edited, deleted and planted some more until I was satisfied with the over all effect.

While I have used several creators designs, Heart Garden Center’s alder, maple, pine and oak trees figure predominately in Lost Horizon’s landscape, along with a large plant/flower selection. Oh! and let’s not forget the weeping willows. Lost Horizon will be closed the month of December so I can complete the rest of the landscape renovation to the oak forest and landing point entrance. Stay tuned as there is much more newness to come! Be kind to one another. TWMA♥
