Appropriately….practically TWO MONTHS since I used to be correct proper right here with an substitute…..what’s up with that? I’ve missed all of you, and as a consequence of those of you who’ve reached out to me on Instagram to let me know you could have obtained missed my weblog posts!
I under no circumstances intend to remain away so extended, it merely appears the cases fly by, one after one completely different, and prior to you acknowledge it it has been wayyyyyy too extended!
Work is loopy….and by the aim I shut my laptop computer pc off on the top of the day/week, I haven’t got to open it as quickly as further till I’ve to. Sigh.
Nonetheless correct proper right here I’m…and thanks for sticking with me by means of these extended absences!
It is almost certainly the worst yr in historic earlier to be inside the wedding ceremony ceremony planning enterprise.
I’ve cried additional with my brides this season than in a single different yr. My coronary coronary coronary heart breaks for all of the {{{couples}}} accessible in the marketplace who’ve been wanting ahead to their dream wedding ceremony ceremony this season, solely to have the rug pulled out from beneath them. Who might have ever predicted this after we heard about that first case of Coronavirus correct proper right here contained in the US as soon as extra in January?
We’re all earlier delighted for Amanda & Alex and may’t wait to have pleasant with them after we’re in a position to all be collectively as quickly as further! We have missed wayyyy too many celebrations this yr, nonetheless we’re undoubtedly not alone in that. Sigh.
I am nonetheless working from residence, which I like, even with the challenges that working from residence can carry. I am unable to take into accounts what the pups assume….they will not know what to do with themselves as shortly as I’m going as soon as extra to the workplace. Appropriate now I am their slave…let me out, let me in, give me a cookie, I would like a snuggle….you acknowledge the drill!
Correct proper right here they’re in a single amongst their favourite ‘lookout’ spots….they’re dealing with inside the path of the freeway, and though you presumably can not see it in the meanwhile of yr, they hear folks accessible in the marketplace mountaineering or strolling their canine and like to allow them to know in no unsure phrases merely who owns this mountain prime!!
It is good to have the pliability to take a 5 minute break to allow them to out and step out into the sunshine and nation air….and I have been discovering good solace in my deck yard all by means of this annoying time, for optimistic.
I saved factors moderately soothing this yr with a ton of blue, white, and pink. Humorous as quickly as I deliberate my deck yard means as soon as extra in January, I had a peaceable palette in concepts, nevertheless I had no thought how the world would change in merely just some months. I am optimistic glad I did, it has been such a haven!
I modified a earlier planter on the deck with this one, that my pal Brenda had bought as soon as extra in early Spring for her non-public patio. Beforehand I had a metallic stand on this spot with two very heavy clay flower containers that I lugged up and down the steps every spring and fall. I made a decision to affiliate with one issue that will resist our harsh winters and save my as soon as extra, and I ‘m so glad I did!
That is the present view from my deck swing, my heaven on earth. I attempt to take a while day by day after work to take a seat again out on the swing prior to dinner, and generally Molly is by my facet. After all we now should play Chuck It first with the pups….that is Monkey’s favourite recreation!
I like one of many easiest methods this nook turned out, though it wasn’t my preliminary plan.
I had bought Lily bulbs for this nook and hoped earlier hope that the critters would depart them alone inside the event that that they’d been in pots on the deck.
Appropriately guess what….regardless of my pathetic efforts to guard the bulbs, and trying so many various ideas, the darned chipmunks ate each single bulb.
I hand over on Lilies. So unhappy. I took a go to to the yard heart final week to hunt out one issue tall to place in these pots in lieu of Lilies. Merely check out that beautiful Salvia, it is merely beautiful! And you possibly can’t go improper with Cleome. There’s furthermore a purple Verbena in there someplace, it is so feathery and appears to drift above the opposite additional dense flowers. I identical to the utterly completely completely different textures taking part in off each other.
After all the darned chipmunks needed to dig contained in the pots appropriate after I planted, merely to see inside the event that they left any lily bulbs behind…..grrrrrr, they’re such aggravating little critters, nonetheless so cute!
I even added some blue Salvia in the herb containers this yr, to hold the blue all one of many easiest methods all by means of the deck. I am unable to watch for it to fill in, I merely love these blue spiky flowers…..and so do the bees!
On a facet phrase, it is laborious to consider I restained this deck merely final spring. The snow and ice actually destroys it each season….oh efficiently, I take the nice with the dangerous. Presumably if the urge hits me I will take a brush to these spots….or perhaps I will wait till subsequent spring. We’ll see.
I do love having these herb containers appropriate exterior my kitchen door, that is for optimistic! One amongst many unbelievable factors about working from house is that I am trying out all types of newest recipes. I can merely begin prepping for a recipe whereas on the cellphone or in between emails – it is unbelievable! I can run out to the veggie yard to seize some lettuce for a salad….fairly quickly we’ll have tomatoes furthermore, I am unable to wait!
What’s been occurring in your world? I optimistic hope you could be all staying protected and efficiently!
