This year has begun the same way last year ended: I’m behind.
My intentions – like that of most other bloggers – are pretty straightforward. Most of us try and get a new post up every couple of weeks, if not weekly. My record does not reflect my intentions.
Yes, it’s been a crazy year… near death for my sweetie… a move… grad school in another state … a new book out (well, sort of two books since it’s in TWO EDITIONS with different information in each)… me two surgeries and then surgery on two relatives that required travel and care for a week each… our 1st grandbaby born. Is my year any different from anyone else’s, though? Have you overheard someone exclaim, “this year was so calm. I’m bored” ?I know I haven’t!
So rather than promise change, I’m gonna make a different kind of promise to you and to myself, an ANTI-RESOLUTION of sorts. (Did you know they have an APP for that, too?) I’m predicting unpredictable flurries of activity on this site, with random silences. There will be no pattern seen by the naked eye. Or even by the bespectacled one, for that matter. If I get lots of landscaping questions (usually in the spring and fall), you will see lots of posts. If I don’t, you probably won’t. What I’m saying is the frequency depends on YOU, not me, this year. This is not to put a guilt trip on anyone. It’s kind of like when my girls don’t call, I assume all is well.
I do have many garden-blogging friends who report in a regular fashion. Some even posted their New Year’s gardening resolutions. Not me.
If you have a problem in your garden, or don’t; need some organic lawn care advice, or don’t; have a photo of something you need identified, or don’t; need some life encouragement, or want to offer encouragement to others, let me know. If I don’t hear a peep, neither will you. c:

I’d say you had an UPHILL year! You started with Greg’s health challenge and ended with a beautiful new baby in the family!
Donna, we are blessed all the way around. While I’d not wish that kind of experience on anyone, that brush with mortality put things in perspective.I think it also made that new baby all the more precious to us. May your new year be one of fun, new experiences and much joy. Love you, friend! c:
