Seems like I haven't been here in ages! We moved our office to the other side of town (it was in our back yard) and we moved to a new home in South Georgia.
I survived leaving my yard (sniff) and my pond (sniff sniff), but I did take a bunch of cuttings with me, and they're all doing fine.
We have different plants here, some of which I'm unfamiliar with the care of, and some that I am thrilled to have. There are two humongous old magnolia trees 3 huge gardenias 3 big camelias, covered with buds and this giant bush that I don't recognize that gets these huge flowers that are white in the morning, turn light pink by evening, and are dark pink the next morning. It appears to be in the hibiscus family.
Our family is on a mission to get completely out of debt, so we've agreed no more home improvement projects for a while, but that won't stop me from going ahead and drawing up a diagram of the yard and planning out the next pond and gardens! And we're planning on getting a few chickens in the spring, so that will help make compost!
bbbbbbbbb Real women don't have hot flashes -- we have power surges!
