Must be nice to have lush green foliage surrounding the deck...
It's actually a tree that has grown up through the deck. I've cut it down once, tried to transplant part of it, it came back... I've left it because it's like having a container plant that I don't have to water. But it's getting really big and I should probably remove it before it causes some damage.

Happy Anniversary to Daesani & Petra!
They arrived July 29 & 30, 2014. (WOW, where has the time gone )... I had been looking for my first full-size Pullip for quite some time, because I wasn't willing to pay new-doll and most-reseller prices. Petra went around 3x on eBay. The first time I saw her, the auction had just ended. Then she came up again. I tried to snipe, didn't put in my absolute maximum, and got out-sniped. I figured that was the end of that.
Then I spotted owner photos of Date Masamune on Flickr. I'd never looked twice at her because her stock photos are terrible -- totally hiding her potential. But owner photos... she went from neverlookedtwice to MUST-HAVE overnight, and I found one for quite cheap on eBay. I got her sent to friends in Maine who were coming over, either because there was no Canadian shipping or it was much cheaper. (I'm not sure why they felt the need to unwrap the package, but they must've wondered what the heck.) While I was waiting for her to arrive, Petra came up again! I wondered by then if the seller was a scammer -- three Peter Pans all with the same photos? I didn't know then that there were so many bad bidders. But I sniped again and this time I got her!
The friends brought Daesani on the 29th, and Petra was in the mailbox on the 30th. Arriving on consecutive days as they did, I figure they are great gal-pals, even though their personalities are quite different.
