Ok, ok, so I planned to take the big tree down at our house in Weddington. But I couldn't. Really. I got a case of the blues. We had the best Christmas and New Year holidays ever, and I started feeling a bit empty on Monday. So, what did I do? I went and got my grandson Dominic to spend a few days with, followed by his brother Xavi and it is now Wednesday night and all the Christmas decorations are still up. So tomorrow, I promise, I will start taking stuff down and packing it away.
We had a lovely surprise when Lea Ann and Jeffrey Rosenthal stopped by on their way down from New York to Sanibel. They were here for New Year's eve, it was spectacular. (very lowkey, the way we like it) Hopefully they will stop on their way back up to New York.
It has been especially cold this week, had to keep the heater on in the greenhouse. John S. dug more and more of the new pond on Monday. It is really taking shape. It will be a long process, but after we get that done and prune back all the shrubs on that side, I will be able to plant more flowering shrubs and trees. And with all the dirt that is being excavated, I can fill some more of the big beds up further. I'll need more compost of course, but let's hope that the garden can be even more productive this year. And I think I am going to try my hand at making my own pots for seedlings out of compost. This is always how I start the year, so excited about planting a bumper crop of vegetables. Lots of fun to work in the dirt.
Then I have to think of what we can grow up at the farm too. Living the life of Riley.....
