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♥

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♥
