So 2018 comes to an end, for some of us a busy time, Happiness, family and friends, others with sadness, losses through the year, and health problems.
Here, we continue to unpack more boxes, and think about the garden.A blank canvas right now, I dream of how it will be this time next year.
The Gossamer Grass in a pot looks good, even if very lonely. Maybe it will divide, and get some friends to look like this later on.
We cleared away part of the garden over to the back left of the grass, and I found a little red brick edging. Maybe we can continue this right round the front. This part will get filled with bulbs and plants that are also in pots now, some hostas will find a shady place down the side of the house, sheltered by a grey fence.Solomon’s Seal, Day Lilies, and lots more will get planted tomorrow.
Boris is allowed outside on a lead, but growls, and looks longingly at the front gate and the street!!! He is shut in at night, and I think we will continue this. Other cats have visited, and early this morning a very tame younger black and white cat stared at me by the kitchen window.
As we leave 2018 tonight, I wish all my friends, near and far, a very Happy New Year, with love close by. Courage to face 2019, will power to finish those projects, and time to start new ones.For those of us who have a cat, a dog, a horse, a llama, a duck or two or more, a donkey, or even a snake or two, let 2019 be kind to them as well.

HAPPY NEW YEAR Jean and Hugh. So happy to see you are thriving in your new home and already planning your beautiful yard. Have a wonderful 2019 and best wishes to you and yours. Carol
Your garden is going to be beautiful! You certainly have been busy. Happy New Year and let it bring good health and happiness to you and your family. I really appreciate all your comments!
Glad to hear you're settling in!
I think Boris being a totally indoor cat is a good move, we had to take this step with Leila, she was never allowed out after 4.00pm but we had so many attacks from neighbourhood cats which meant many vet visits and meds and surgery that we had to take drastic action. She now has a cat patio - I'll post photos soon.
I'd be interested to know how you were able to have him used to a lead/harness Jean.
Wishing you all the very best for a happy and healthy New Year 2019.
Jean - I love that quote. I am sure you will have a great time making your new garden. Wishing you health and happiness for 2019 and beyond.
Happy New Year Jean, how nice to get to know you! Best of luck with your new home and I can't wait to see you setup in your new studio. Boris is adorable! v
Your tree and grass look healthy and will probably do so well in your new space! I hope you get all of your new home and space just the way you want! And I hope Borris stays close to home!
Wishing you a blessed and happy New Year!
Stopping by to wish you a marvelous 2019! I've spent some time catching up with your blog posts, looking at your pictures and I especially love your quilting posts and when I get a glimpse of my beloved NZ! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. I appreciate it so much!!
Happy 2019 to you. I feels so happy that you are now making a new home. Your maple looks absolutely gorgeous. I have no doubt that you'll grow gorgeous gardens, all in good time. I hope that Boris stays close to home, safe and sound.
All the best wishes for 2019 ! I am reallt curious how your garden will look in about a year !
You are a faithful visitor!
Good work on Boris. Daisy is still in. We shall see what happens.
A whole new garden to play in! How exciting! xx
What beautiful words! So happy you are settling into your new home, Jean. It is invigorating, isn't it. And sorting out your garden too...exciting. I hope 2019 will be a most wonderful year for you and Hugh.
I'm thinking Boris looks pretty comfortable in his new home! Cats have comfort cornered. I look forward to seeing your gardens, Jean. In Nova Scotia hosts run amok. Take care!
