The Lake House

Laura and I are starting a photoblog with our adventures! I am so happy about this because I was just thinking about that today after we went on our first walk in a very long time. Laura texted me and said that we should start one and I was so happy. After all of these years, we are still very much on the same page.

Today is also the first day that I felt inspired to blog or post anything online. She took me to see the 1960s designed and built Baldwin House at Deer Lake park and I fell in love. It was designed by Arthur Erickson who most notably designed Simon Fraser University. It is owned by the City of Burnaby and currently leased to The Land Conservancy of British Columbia. Our dream goal is to rent it for a week in the summer, however, I can't find online that it is currently available as a rental. A few phone calls may need to be made.

Researching terrariums and getting ideas on what kind to build

Pinterest has been a great source of inspiration but it's all thanks to Crown Flora Studio
