checking in...

I made this bouquet on the day I moved out.  I wanted to have a little something of my gardens with me when I left.  I wasn't able to dig up any of my plants that I'd wanted to take with me.  I left behind hydrangeas that my stepmother had gifted me, a eucalyptus that I planted the first year I was there, my first peony, three foxgloves, lily of the valley, hellebore, dahlias and a spirea/snowball bush that had been a baby from my grandparents house.  It was difficult to leave those all behind.  I almost felt like I was leaving the people behind, but I know that is not so.

This is a mini harvest I had just before moving day.  All yummy stuff.

The past month has been a whirlwind of chaos.  Complications arose with the closings, the moving out, the moving in, that packing.  It was so overwhelming and I had a very difficult time functioning at all.  It all worked out in the end but if I ever have to move again, it will not be during Mercury Retrograde.  

Leaving the old house behind wasn't as hard as I'd thought.  And settling into the new place is easier than I thought it would be.  I'm mostly settled in, except for the studio.  I'm working away in there a little bit each day to get all of those tons of boxes unpacked.

I'll have a tour post at a later date.  I just wanted to say hello and let you know that I made it through the move.  Now I have a little tea party to put together.  I don't want to be late for that!!  :-) 


I'll leave you with a photo of last night's sunset after a thunder storm rolled through.

ps...see you on Saturday for a Mad Tea Party!

Quickie

I'm home...moved back in... still unpacking a little and still have a few ongoing projects from the big work. But life is slowly returning to normal. I have one more week of craziness then things should slow down to where I can get back to blogging and reading blogs regularly. Next week is crazy busy at work and also I'm getting ready for our Shop Local Fair that is next Saturday. (I'm a vendor and have a lot to do to prepare.)

Green Thumb Sunday...

Hey, it's Sunday and I'm actually posting my GTS post on Sunday! I think that is progress!

So today's photo is from my yard. It is a bleeding heart plant (or what I've always called bleeding heart, if you know the real name please leave me a comment). I love this plant. It always makes me smile when I see it.


Well, I'd best run along, I have a list of things that I need to get done before I leave to see my Grandmother. I've been up for a little over an hour and I've already fed all the kids and given the beast his shot and I've also washed dishes and checked email. I still have the cat boxes to clean, to take out the trash and to shower and dress and make my list of supplies to get while I'm out.

Oh, yesterday I posted knitting progress photos on my other blog. If you are interested in seeing it, head over there and check it out.

I also have more to do on the secret life changing project and will hopefully have more information later today. I still don't want to disclose what it is just yet. ;-)

Alright, I'm off to tackle the kittie boxes. I don't know why I hate doing that so much... ugh. :-)

Blessings,
