A Spring Tradition Begun Again: Fuchsia Hanging Planter

Pretty Pink Fuchsia

Fuchsia is a word I always spell incorrectly, but I love fuchsia flowers. And I love the fact that they enjoy being grown under a tree, since I have a bunch of those.
When I first moved to a little town in New Hampshire, I discovered these pretty hanging planters and bought myself one that was red and purple flowering. I decided to have one every Spring for the front yard. Then we lost the house and I rented for ages and my mind was not on decorating the yard, but now I’m back in Spring yard decorating mode. So I had to decide on a color. The nursery I visit is HUGE and they had hundreds of fuchsia’s it seemed and I decided to go with the dark and light pink.
It is happily growing under the beech trees out front and I enjoy seeing it there. They make great Mother’s Day gifts… hint hint.

More Snow Than I’ve Seen At One Time

Snow shovel storm
NEMO Blizzard in Feb. 2013

The snowstorm we got on February 9th dropped about 30 inches of snow in my area of New Hampshire. That is a lot of snow.
It was hard to know where to begin with the shoveling. It was fluffy snow, so not hard to move, but there was just so much. The ground had been bare in places so this pile up was all at once.
Then my plow guy called and said that his truck had broken down. Things like that really seem so normal for my life that I wasn’t really surprised, and I found someone else to come plow. I had kept the name handy just in case, and I’m glad I did.
The next day my old plow guy came with a snowblower and cleaned out the mailbox and fire hydrant that is right in front of my house. There was no way I could have dug that stuff out. I am considering buying a snowblower for myself.

That was a few weeks ago and now it’s melted some. The good that came from it was that I had to put my new roof rake together and try it out. It worked great and I highly recommend using one for big storms.

Not Stopping, Just Moving

I am not stopping writing.

In fact I write at these other blogs that seem to get views without me trying so hard.

Seashells by Millhill 

This is about my life in Florida, what I learned when I lived there and the shells I collected.  Kind of an educational / travel ideas place.

Hydrangeas Blue

I am  becoming a hydrangea expert!  I grow them, photograph them, and make a living (partially) from designing with their images.  I love to garden, so this is a fun blog for me.

Sandpiper Wedding

Beach wedding stuff.

This all keeps me busy and I’d love it if you’d continue to visit me at these places.

Thank you!

So There. Good-Bye

black cat
Skittle

Yes, I am out of things to write about. This blog is getting boring for me. I haven’t been out to get photos and the ones I did get are still in the camera.

This picture of my cat, Skittle, shows her sleeping up on the bookcase with her tongue hanging out. I see her doing this all the time. She will sit on the desk with her tongue out and of course my camera is no where around, but this time I found it and got a good picture.

It’s how I feel. Where is the incentive to write when this blog gets so view visits. It’s no wonder, but when is the time to say “enough!”
I think it has come.

People want to read about interesting and exciting things and no such thing happens in my life.
I am at the point in my work where I am too busy to write bland posts about nothing. My time is better spent designing and writing about what I sell. And I have plenty of places to do that.
This blog has no use, so it’s time to say good bye.

Maybe, God willing, I will one day have a life to write about. But unless that day comes, I will not be wasting your time or mine.
