Bdoda Lives!






This Spring, Bradley officially opened his new business: Bdoda Design. Some of you may remember his eldest daughter, Tallulah. Her first word was "Bdoda." We took it as a sign.

Some folks ask "What does Bdoda mean?" Well, as it is made up, it means the URL is available, for starters. It sounds a bit like "pagoda," and "buddha," but is, as far as we know, not registered anywhere in the world.  We like to think it means "excellent landscape design." Who knows any different?

Our first major coup was to team up with a small business promotion service and offer a craaaazy deal. Fifteen feet of retaining wall for $150. Nuts. We sold sixty.

It brought over 6000 people to the website, and has given me the chance to promote the business in other ways, including bidding on much bigger jobs.

The task now, is to continue making good work, getting new clients, and pushing some sculpture. That is ultimately what this company will do...provide a umbrella for my artwork.  Soon enough...

In the meantime, we have our new house (pix soon,) and both sets of grandparents equidistant. We are feeling quite fortunate to have all we do.  Life is good.

Five Happiness Lives! We have a new home! Our first, totally owned by us! We are excited by all the exclamation points!!

Seriously, we bought a 3000 square foot home on top of a mountain. We call it "The Treehouse," because every room looks out into the tops of the surrounding trees. Oaks, chestnuts, beech, dogwood, tulip poplar, and dozens more varieties.

Where are the photos, you ask? On their way.
