THE LAST BOX

We have finally unpacked the last box and the boxes have been hauled away as of yesterday. We now have an open and airy garage. Wahoo!

Plants in the yard are growing daily by the inch (hostas) and I've been out pruning blackberries which are also growing by the inch daily. I thought my hands were protected, but this morning I have numbers of broken off thorns in my fingers. Leather gloves don't seem to stop a razor sharp blackberry thorn. Does anybody have any ideas?

We are certainly not done weeding out all of our posessions, because the house has too many "things" in it. However, the boxes are gone and that is a big load off our shoulders. May day was the day it was all over. We moved July 24. Nine months and two full moves along with moves to storage units. I don't know how people move every couple of years. It is expensive, emotionally draining, and just a #!*/# lot of work.

OK, you beat me. Moved here 3 years ago, and still have boxes and totes in the shipping container. Now if I knew what was IN them....
So glad you have plants to "play" with, they are such a part of our life, yes? Special spirits all their own...

Congratulations! That must be such a relief to finally get everything unpacked. I bet you were suprised to find stuff that you forgot you even had!

What a good feeling that must be. Now I hope you will have time to "play" a little. I am enjoying all of the GREEN and the flowers that are starting to grow! I just planted several herbs in pots so I can walk out my kitchen door and snip them when I want them. I'd love to see pictures of your growing things!
