Out With the Old...

Christmas is over, I'm trying hard not to feel blue,
Goodness knows I've plenty to do!




The New Year is coming and I hope that it brings,
All sorts of fun and fantastic things.

Gardening, cooking, and of course some decor,
Photography, blogging, and maybe some more.



So away with the decorations and in with the new,
Life is so full of great things to do!




Happy New Year

    Funny thing about holiday decorating...I love to put everything away and declutter when it is over. You are just a little ahead of me!

    You are definitely ahead of me. We were so late this year with our decorations and I'm in no rush. I can't wait to see what you have in store in 2012. It's been a pleasure getting to know you and your lovely gardens this year.

    Happy New Year to you as well, Adrienne! I admire you for already putting away the decorations - that won't happen before the new year in this house.
    Cheers!

    It is ok to be sad, for a little while, rest, then get going again. Hope your New Year is a happy one.

    Hi, Adrieen. I just emailed you and asked if you'd had a recent post, and there it was, on my own blog (I have your button there), so here I am visiting... We won't be taking ours down until after the Epiphany and the party we'll have that evening (I'll be sure to post), so we're still enjoying our tree and all the trimmings. Happy new year to you. ~Zuni
