Happy New Year!
Why hello there, 2025!
 
What will this year hold? It's hard to know. I feel like last year was full to the brim with new experiences. I almost need to stop and catch my breath.  How about you?
 
Around the world, and here at home “change” is happening. So much so that I wonder if there will be a desire for things that feel calming and nostalgic. 
 
As we embark on this new year, my hope for you is that you find whatever brings you joy and a sense of peace. 
 
Cheers to you and your 2025 endeavors!!

Let it Snow!
 
We've already had snow this winter!!
 
Did you know that snow acts like an insulating blanket for tulip bulbs? It protects them from extreme cold as frost can penetrate several inches to 3 feet.
 
So, I love to see snow in the garden, as I know the tulips are just enjoying a long & cozy winter's nap!

Fun Fact!
 
All the confetti that you see tossed in NYC at Times Square is fluffed and thrown by hand. 
 
There is an army of volunteers who are making that iconic moment happen at midnight!
