One of the things I missed, upon first moving to our new place in Naperville, was my balcony at the Windsor.  Except for the noise from the traffic, it was an awesome outdoor space.  We had lots of plants, flower, herbs, lights, candles, and we were even trying our hand at growing a tomato plant.  At our new place we have a patio with a patch of dirt in the front where you can see that a bush was chopped down.  It wasn’t very inviting.  Until this past weekend when we got our hands dirty!
