One of the Issues I only became aware of after we'd put in our offer was the lack of a garage door. Apparently not unusual in this area, and we are lucky to have roof and walls to protect the car. I've always thought I could put up a tarp, which would help keep snow off in the winter, and shield it from the worst of the sun in summer. I'd looked up how much that would cost, and it was not unreasonable. When we finally worked out how we would replace the curtains, I kept wondering what to do with the heavy, newish, but really ugly brown fabric.
This is my dual solution, a cable, and Ikkeah curtains. Funny, out there, the color isn't bad at all. Looks nearly posh, I want to put pink bows on it. Appropriately inappropriate.
Peek-a-boo.
Neighbor loaned us the extension cord long enough for the drill to reach.
Made it to the community garden's plant sale this morning, much more of a crowd than I expected, but all very well organized. Took my neighbor, T, who got some lovely perennials for her porch and patio pots.
I got some odd varieties of tomatoes, mostly because there were so many, and the crowds so thick, I just picked what I could reach that looked interesting, it'll be a surprize.
And some parsley, mint, and probably oregano, I think. The tag got lost, and it was all a bit of a mess for me. Didn't expect to have to park so far, but at least I thought to bring a large, sturdy bag. Eventually, I ran to get the car, while T waited with plants and compost, since they had a loading area. Really lovely people all around.
They all look very healthy, and I still have seeds to plant, beans and chives, beets and more sunflowers.

i vote yes on bows.
That looks like a great neighbourhood, and the curtained garage is very classy!

Indeed.

Noted. I think I'll see what ribbons come my way, not go purposefully to buy any.
RR,
It's a strange little corner of the world, with a smidgen of history.
