A New Obsession

When I was making a list of prerequisites for a suitable house back in 2003, having space in the backyard for a garden was not high on my list. Actually, it was not on my list at all. This is why for the past five summers the only thing that grew in my garden was weeds; although it did take on a second function as litter box when Dash came into the picture. That is until this year. With some help from my Mom – who has always had a love for digging in the dirt – there are finally vegetables growing in my garden! I have actually been pleasantly surprised by how much I have enjoyed it. So much so, that should I ever be on the search for another house, space in the backyard for a garden just might make my list of prerequisites. That is, after walk-in-closets, double-sink bathrooms, and vaulted ceilings.

Second Try

So, if any of you take the time to notice the publish date on a post you will already know that this site has been 'up and running' for eleven months... exactly. As I mentioned in my initial post; the first attempt I made at a blog was done completely on my own whim, of which clearly did not last very long. However, this attempt comes from a bit of encouragement from a close friend that just moved away, hopefully producing a different result. This is for you Aimee.
