And these are the new Vineyards. I hope you all liked the new sign at the main gate. "Lorneau.net" - cute, no? And if you look from that side, over there, it says "Lorneau.com". That is fun, eh?
Not much has changed on the surface, but there are many differences under the soil and down those corridors. Do not concern yourselves with that just yet - what needs to work is working satisfactorily, and what is not ready yet is behind locked doors. Everything else should feel just the same, except those cushions over there, they are more comfortable now. The cats... Ah, the cats, I spent three whole days running after them, putting them in boxes, and bringing them all here. This house was never supposed to have cats, you see. With all the movement, there is a lot of hair hanging in the air, so I hope you are not allergic.
Oh, and those little notes my delightful friends left all around the previous yards, I sincerely apologize, but it seems their ink corroded their paper, and I cannot move them without ruining everything. So, instead of copying them on my own handwriting, I chose to leave them there, safe, at least for now. That does not mean new notes cannot be added, eh! By all means, grab one of the quills scattered around (one the cats have not ruined yet, please) and write something, I really appreciate it.
What? Well, yes, it is nearly identical, and it took me a lot of time to make it this way. Why? Because I wanted to. Maybe I will change it someday later, but for now the change of address was big enough for me. Just look around, this new place is wonderful. I can have many new things here that I never thought of before. I will work on that soon.
Oh, yes, here! Have a bottle of wine, before we store them all again. This was a good vintage. I am sure there will be more of these ahead, this soil seems very promising.
Excuse me now, please, there is still much to be done. Feel free to look around, and come back often. I do not promise more wine for each visit, but I will try to keep the crops growing.
Great weather, no?

maybe I'll do the same with my garden, have it planted next to these fields again... I just hope the roses' scent won't interfere negatively in the next vintage.
I came by to drop off some homemade brownies and found a lovely tabby on top of a bookcase, purring contentedly. She greeted me, rolled back over, and watched me under her paw as I left them on the table for you.
Congratulations on your successful move and may all the new crops prove as fruitful as the last!

Seriously though, it is good to see a real site away from Live Journal. *sniffs* My little blogger is all grown up...
Thank you, everyone, for the visit, and the comments. I promise to do my best to make your stay pleasant. I left the Neglect beast locked in a dark basement back in Live Journal Land, let us hope it stays locked for a long time.
ruby, aye, move the Garden closer again. Those fields are too damp, they could not hold any of the lovely constructions you would produce for the roses.
Courtney, lady of cookies and brownies, thank you. You liked the cats? There are another 150, more or less - and they are all the bookcases hold until I finish moving those books and parchments and everything else. Good thing they have no fleas.
And Justin... If I had to mention you in a cute fantasy description like this, you would end up carrying the stones to build the house's foundation, and I doubt you would want that. So I saved my thanks to you for another post. You were responsible for everything since the first day on Live Journal, you deserve your own thank-you post.
I will have another post done soon, honest!
