A New Start

No this is not an April fools joke - I am restarting my blogging.  Who will read this - I have no idea. But it seems like a good idea to start posting again after a hesitant start a couple years ago.  Rereading my few posts I will have to update the reader that my beloved Bella Rose died a little over a year ago. My ever thoughtful husband thought I needed a new love so he bought a new corgi into my life - Poppy Sunshine. She is now four months old. Isn't she lovely?

 

The adventures of Princess Poppy Sunshine will be one of the interests I will be writing about. Another love of mine is gardening. I intend to share what is happening in my yard as I start a new phase of my life I call "quasi- retirement." With Wednesday being the last day of my job where I actually get paid to garden I will be staying home and working/gardening on our quaint farm complete with dogs, cats, rabbits and chickens.  Here are a few pictures of what is happening in my front yard this April 1st.

As you can tell there is a fair amount of growth going on for April. South Carolina had an extremely mild winter this year and things are really taking off earlier than normal.  Many of our trees are leafing out even our pecan trees.

Living in a house that was built in the 1920's you can imagine we also have inside projects to start and/or complete. Things like building closets and remodeling or updating a bathroom and kitchen. I intend to blog about the inside as well as the outside projects.  This is fast becoming rather ambitious of me.  Time will tell if I am up to this task or if this first post really is an Aprils Fools day prank.
