Just as I'm getting used to the holiday season it's over. It took me awhile to get the hang of the festive season and once I did every moment within the period was thoroughly enjoyed and relished. From tomorrow onwards though it's back to usual and the world goes back to its usual, not so festive business.
That's good though, back to normal, just need to readjust again, like going back to your usual routines at home (and work) after a long holiday.
Saying that there are so many things to look forward to, like spring for a start. Another fabulous gardening year potentially lies ahead and there are so many possibilities!
Anything new for 2015 gardening wise? I made a quick a short list the other day and in it are the following tasks:
Paint the jungle area bench - after having a year of brown bench as a post fire replacement of the old one in the jungle area we both concluded that we miss having a coloured one in this very leafy and shady part of the garden, especially every time we see the photo that Loree took of that area when she visited. It's nice to have a shot of light color in that spot and we'll reinstate that.
More large vases and urns in the garden
Custom make a table for top patio
Irrigation - been on our list for a long time and it's still outstanding! Will this be the year it gets ticked off? We'll see...
Clad top patio fences
Paint top patio bench
Hang more ornaments
That's it for now. I'm sure more will creep on to the list as days and weeks go by.
What about you, any grand plans for 2015?
Looking back on our activities in the past that we usually blog about there may be a few changes this year like: a little cut back on the events and plant fairs that we usually cover, perhaps lesser nursery visits or at least on those that we've covered so many times before, more focus on individual plants, more focus on garden accessories and 'quirkiness', and hopefully...more travel!
Not too idle during the festive season...
So the holiday season is over and back to work tomorrow. It's not so bad though, with tinsel, trees, and Santa Claus out of the way there are no obstructions anymore, we can see spring on the horizon now!Wishing you all a fabulous New Year and a fun filled 2015 ahead!
Mark :-)
