Hey y'all, I've missed you! An update on the new garden.

Category: Daily notes | Posted: Sat Oct 18, 2008 1:30 am

What a busy summer and fall. Man, I thought when I'd gotten a chance to get back on in Aug. I'd be here right on through but alas life keeps happening.

My DD#1 (who's 22) got engaged in Aug. and we've been pretty busy making plans and shopping for wedding gowns as well as flower girl gowns for DD#2 (who's 5).

DD#1 is making most of the plans but she's had me right along side of her to make sure she's making good decisions and offering my 2 cents where I can.

DD#2 will be the flower girl. She has her own oppinion of what her dress will be. Good thing for her, DD#1 knows her sister well and has no problem letting a 5 year old call her own shots.

We had DD#2's birthday party the beginning of Oct. 15 5 years old kids running around my back yard. We got tables and chairs, no room in my house, thank goodness it was a lovely day. A little chilly, it is fall in Maine, but it was really nice.

We also got a big bouncing castle for them to get all their energy and cake out of their systems. All in all, they had a blast and it was a fun day for the kids.

I spent most of the day battling a migraine and was pretty much dibilitaded by the time everyone left, but was able to get to bed early and sleep it off most of the next day.

I'm sorry to say the new garden area is not making much progress. We've pretty much set it aside for now, making Spring the focus of trying to start working on it again. This is where we are at, more than the last pics posted but we've got a long way to go.






Well, it's going to take me forever to get caught up on all I've missed. I needed to jump in a say hi and that I'm still around. I'm hoping to find some time here and there to get back into the swing of stewing.

I hope you all have been well.

Hey Terry, that is going to be a beautiful area for your garden. I know you miss playing in the dirt, but it will be there when you get ready. Love all your emails!!

I'm glad to see you! Sounds like you've got your hands full for some time to come yet. Please remember to breath and slow down in between, won't you?

Oh I'm so glad all my kids are grown and have flown the nest. Just the thought of 15 x 5 year olds sends me into a cold sweat!! LOL How you coped with a migraine as well I'll never know.

Your garden area is looking good and I'm sure it will all be ready come spring for the exciting part - planting.

So good to have you back here again Terry.

What a nice garden area!
Sounds like your last several months have been as hectic as mine!
Time to take time JUST for you!

I'm so glad to see you back Terry! Sounds like you have had your hands full to say the least! I have a 5 year old too, so I'm just trying to imagine 15 5 year olds...
