Finally!

Can you believe it’s already August??? I keep promising to post more regularly and little things like packing hundreds of boxes and taking four truckloads of stuff (one entire truckload of nothing but plants!) to a new house keep getting in the way! The good news: It’s FINALLY done! Done!

Well, almost done. I still have to set up my design studio and office, but other than that, it’s done. Thanks to some really fantastic friends, I got moved this past weekend, the furniture is in place, the art is hung, the closet is organized and the plants have made the 50 mile trek from the old house to the new. Now if it would just rain and cool off enough to actually get a shovel in the ground and be comfortable doing it. Well, one CAN wish!

Thanks so much for sticking with me and continuing to come back and read the blog. As the new garden starts to develop, I’ll be posting pictures and stories as often as possible so that you can see the progress. I’ll try to get some “before” pictures up in the very near future so everyone can see what I’m starting with. There are already some very good bones, as the lady who lived in the house before me was quite a good gardener and had created some beds and done quite a bit of planting. So I’ll be building on what she had already accomplished and we’ll see where it takes us! Stay tuned!

  • Bring On Spring!

    Well, as is typical here in Tennessee, spring officially arrived last Thursday and today it snowed! It snowed so hard, in fact, that when I was driving home around lunch time you couldn’t see from one telephone pole to the next.  Near white-out conditions!  20 minutes later, the sun came out and as quickly as…

  • Welcome To The New Blog

    Greetings Everyone! I know you thought I had disappeared for good, but I promise I haven’t.  Late summer and fall were incredibly busy and I was on the road–almost continuously, it seemed–from the third week in July, when I went to Portland for the annual Perennial Plant Association Symposium,  until mid-November, when I had my…

  • Back On Track

    Okay, I’ve been a little remiss in posting lately. The 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. shift is beginning to wear on me just a little, so shoot me. This has been one of the craziest springs I can remember in quite some time and I’m STILL playing catch-up. Almost there, though. The work is not…
