Happy New Year!
It is sunny and cold today as I sit here watching the birds outside the window and contemplate an article assignment that is due in 5 days. Perhaps my New Year's resolution should be to stop procrastinating and get things done. I don't know, I think I might work better under pressure. :) The photo above is actually from 2007. We've already had some snow this winter and I'm sure we have more on the way in 2011.
I hope everyone had a nice New Year's Eve and Day. We were actually awake this year to see it in (unheard of, we are rather unexciting homebodies). We invited a few friends over for some chili and a game of Mexican Train dominoes and we had a great time. We toasted the New Year in with thunderstorms brewing outside as we had a quick sip of champagne and some kisses before getting back to our game.
Resolutions? I'm not making any this year. I'm hoping that we have a great gardening year and better weather this year. And please - no drought! I don't have any major projects in mind for the garden. I will be sharing some of my blog postings with Alabama Gardener magazine this year (as soon as I have the link for that, I will pass it along). I am also determined to update my regular website (A Southern Garden) as I have neglected it this year.
In the meantime, I wish all of you out there peace, health and happiness for 2011!

I look forward to reading your blog this year, and I am going to subscribe to Alabama Gardener, as well. Unfortunately, they already had enough Alabama bloggers when I sent for info, but I am on their back-up list if someone falls through. Thanks for putting a good word in for me. I do hope to break into the publishing world. My blog is my little toe dipped into the water!
Have a great year, filled with many good gardening days!
