It’s the end of 2021. I honestly don’t know how I feel. It was another year dominated by Covid-19, but at least this year we had the opportunity to get vaccinated. And although only in a limited capacity, we were able to travel and meet up with family and friends. But we all have grown tired of this seemingly never ending pandemic. This has truly been a test of endurance; keeping a positive attitude when times have been tough. I think it is important to acknowledge that it has not been easy and there have been frustrating times along the way – and it isn’t over yet. But I’m going to focus on the good times that we’ve had, the wonderful people in our lives, and the blessings we’ve experienced in the everyday. As far as the garden is concerned, it has thrived with the extra attention, while I have benefited from giving it the extra attention. The highlight has to be the addition of the pumpkin arch, and of course, the cleanup of that section of the garden. It was so worth the wait and the work!

While I originally wanted to go through a month by month show of the garden, I’ve decided that that will be a perfect ‘new year’ project! Stay tuned for that. For now, I simply want to wish you a Happy and Healthy New Year! Thank you so much for being a part of Mom in the Garden. I’m so thankful that you care to stop by to read about what is happening in the garden, for your ‘likes’, your kind words, and your follows. May 2022 be everything you hope it to be!

In Peace,
Dana

Let’s make 2022 a little less serious and a lot more fun! 🙂
