 Well, May is coming to a close.. and HEllllllllo.. did this month take 5 minutes or what?... answer: yes, yes it did! 
BIrthday month is coming to a close, Nikki and I, already a year older and wiser are waiting on Jen to join us tomorrow... then we are all growed up...
our century celebration is complete.... you do the math.... CAREFULLY.
We have been super busy at the Blackbird, the Patio continues to grow and evolve... First we had a load of sand... then we had a load of dirt.. and in case those two piles got lonely, we threw in a load of rocks to keep them company... 
Now the sand got bored, so we called in a pile of Douglas Fir to keep it interesting.. it looks like I'm running a building supply store here...
The guy who delivered the rocks took out a fence post... so we have a sort of rigged up gate.. and various massive holes for cement as well... the ice in my mojito is melting......  but progress was made this past weekend... the Lovely Lori Masur, who is one of our FAVORITE weekenders arrived Saturday and basically planted herself in the back (until her husband Gary dragged her into the car Monday!), hauling rock, and moving sand and creating the beginning of a great patio... including a mosaic of a bird... you could maybe see it from space... or at least from a helicopter.... the Douglas Fir could perhaps be on the deck by this evening... (selling of the firstborn is in negotiation...)
Our Sunday Brunch is kicking along, filling tummies and making weary travellers happy.....
The completion of the drywall reno's needed for our license are done... we think... and if everything lines up ... and we ALLL know how that goes.... we should maybe possibly have a deck with cerveza's by june-ish... week one or two is what we are hoping for...
but let's not say it out loud....
that's all from blackbird HQ right now... time to check on the dogs... that's right... DOGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS... why not just throw another one into the mix....  but more on that later.
