You wake up on January 1st and it's all disappointing because it's exactly the same as yesterday.<BR/><BR/>If we had it in the spring now . . . even February would do . . . there'd be a real chance of sensing 'newness'.<BR/><BR/>Best of all would be late August and the beginning of September. Back refresshed from holidays and ready for a new start.<BR/><BR/>September always reminds me of crisp, new and empty exercise books being handed round at school . . . opening the first page . . . eager to fulfill ones potential (including wonderfully neat handwriting!). It soon wore off but those first few moments were wonderful.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes for now - and for when your own year of resolutions kicks in.<BR/><BR/>LucyLucy Corrander Now in Halifax!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14685242329129914772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083229388630903702.post-65592263419066684382008-12-31T21:52:00.000+00:002008-12-31T21:52:00.000+00:00Happy New Year Lucy!Wishing you all the best in 20...Happy New Year Lucy!<BR/>Wishing you all the best in 2009!<BR/><BR/>PhilipPhilip Bewleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02593795071070337798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083229388630903702.post-89179176288449112352008-12-31T17:16:00.000+00:002008-12-31T17:16:00.000+00:00Lucy - Thank you for your comments and I hope a ha...Lucy - Thank you for your comments and I hope a happy and prosperous New Year for you as well. One of my goals is to get my actual garden blog up and active. It fell into one of those started but not finished catagories. After our ice storm of 2007 killed ALL but one of my trees, I redid my whole yard, and made every garden mistake I could stumble on. I'm grateful for garden bloggers such as yourself and you all have taught me so much.<BR/><BR/>Blessings<BR/>DeanaRed Bridges Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17557635914805490115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083229388630903702.post-61853324493323481402008-12-31T17:04:00.000+00:002008-12-31T17:04:00.000+00:00Happy new year, Lucy!
