  6. Whatever could be better than a watered, pruned and cleaned spray of mandaquatz?

    Also, please do tell: where are the outdoor cushions from? I'm pondering indoor/outdoor fabric for the cushions in the Scamp, what with dogs, spills, and general wear and tear.

  7. What a lovely patio... is your mandarin in a pot? If so, how big? Did you have to do anything fancy to keep the roots from getting too hot?

    I'm looking to add some citrus to our patio garden as well, but we're limited to pots and a few planter boxes. Think it would work?

    Beautiful photos!

  8. Eau du homeless scent = amazing. Will invest in a Woolite rug stick immédiatement.

    And whoa are you are a Class A Craigslist prowler! I can't believe you found your outdoor furniture and your wonderful sofa there. So I'm on the hunt for some killer throw pillows for the Scamp; something durable, washable, and unusual if you come across any such items in your online wanderings!

  9. @ bigBANG - Craigslist, and they are pretty amazingly resistant to all kinds of abuse. Sadly, I don't know anything more about them. More on the comment I left for you on your blog!

    @ Tristen - Yep, the mandarin is in a pot. He's been there for almost a year now and I haven't even been nice enough to buy a real pot, so he's still in the black plastic thing. So far, it seems to be working. This is my first season of fruit, so I'll definitely update!

  13. Heretofore unaware of the existence of the mandarin-quat, I stand stoutly corrected. And I have added one to my registry, because it is adorable, lime-like and simultaneously orange.
