I thought I would do a pictorial year in review type of post today. As I was going through my pictures it made me realize that the year was actually made up of a lot of fun things. Every year I resolve to take time to be more creative, go more places, read more books and when I look back I actually did a pretty good job doing that.
In January we started of by taking a weekend trip to Mendocino. I was a lovely way to start of the year. I loved that shop sign above. It was like I found my people.
February I accomplished another perennial resolution; get more organized:
March I took a homely little bird vase and slapped some paint on it. It was also a banner month for our daffodils. Always a welcome harbinger of Spring.
April we took the long wished for plunge into chicken husbandry. I forgot how sweet and fluffy they were back then.
May called for another trip. This time to Michigan to celebrate a beloved Aunt's birthday. We stayed at an amazing B&B in Marine City, right on the river.
In June Rick built me a palace. Which caused quite a ruckus on the Backyard Chicken forum where people accused me of having purple poodles and swanning about on my acreage. If they only knew.
July I joined metal stamping masses and made a few plant markers. I envisioned making a fortune selling them on Etsy and in little garden boutiques. So far I have made three.
August started and ended very hot. Not much happened during that month other than the elusive search for a cool place to nap.
September – now that was an excellent month. It's always nice to add new family members to our numbers. It was also a lovely weekend get away with the entire family at one of our very favorite vacation spots.
October called for another little weekend get away (see I get out more than I thought I did) to visit Sara and Ryan and have the first of our Gourmet weekends. Hmm. We should get back into them.
November was a difficult month. But our family knows how to pull together and support each other. I made a lucky charm bracelet for my niece. It was a small gesture but a heartfelt sentiment to help her in her fight in any way.
December I ended the year how I started. With a little road trip. Here's hoping the road in 2011 is as open and smooth.
Love your new header!! Enjoyed your 2010 review too. wonderful reflection.
You should start making plant markers to give to your sisters next Christmas. Maybe even get a list of the names of the roses in their gardens…. ;o)
Oh good Lord. I just totally lost it at my desk. Thank you for reminding me how much 2010 changed my everything, some for better, some for worse.
Now I’m off to reapply my mascara.
!! the spoons!! I love them! I totally missed that blog– i must go find it!
