Outdoor Spaces

"If we had not winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome."  --Anne Bradstreet

Hello and Welcome back!  Have you felt inspired this week by those pleasant bursts of sunshine?  Last week, we reminisced about family get-togethers and BBQ fun.  Today, I thought we could talk about outdoor spaces.   It is time to bring out your patio furniture and start filling those planters and pots with inviting spring flowers!  

Ready to think bigger?  What about a patio makeover?  Picture this.... a special hideaway covered with climbing roses & clematis; and then adding some cozy chairs for reading a good book and sipping iced tea!..... Or a perfect entertaining area with conversational seating & twinkling lights over looking your favorite spot in the garden... relaxing vista or....  You get the idea.

Now, here is the exciting news!  As always, we are here to help.  Did you realize that Montana Specialty makes custom log gazebos?  That patio makeover just got easier.
​

These are a work of art and built to last!  What a lovely addition to any yard or patio project.

Did You Know?
Prospectors who went to Alaska in the 1890's to seek gold, took sourdough starters with them in knapsacks?  These miners ate so much bread, that they came to be known as Sourdoughs!  A term now associated with the backwoodsman in general.

Simple Sourdough Starter:

• 3 1/2 Cups organic flour
• 1 Tablespoon sugar
• 1 package active dry yeast
• 2 Cups warm water

​Combine dry ingredients in a large ceramic or glass bowl. Gradually add warm water; mix well until smooth. Cover with kitchen towel or cheese cloth and let stand in warm place for 3 days.

After using needed amount for your recipe, be sure to replenish the starter using 1 1/2 C. flour and 1 C. warm water to remaining starter.
