Although this could very well be a picture of me finding a new treasure at a favorite nursery, it's actually an illustration by David Catrow for a children's book called Plantzilla.

Happy New Year!


Whether you stayed home and had a quiet New Year's Eve


Or went out reveling,

I hope you had a wonderful time!  Here's to a great new year


full of surprises.

Time to stow away baggage from the past and move forward

knowing that you are loved!  

If you need another reason to be happy, consider the fact that we're gaining daylight at the rate of almost a minute a day!  Happy New Year All!

    I love these ornaments! I do remember the increase in light, too, when it feels like winter will never end. We're closer to spring today than we were yesterday. :o) Happy New Year!

      And tomorrow, even closer. Why is it that the school year isn't almost over?

    Happy New Year Peter,I look forward to it every morning. I minute a day such good news I've been so cold out in the gardens can't work as long so getting dark early forces me to go in and quit sooner.

    Last night was quiet...saving ourselves for today: Oregon Ducks in the Rose Bowl. R has managed to turn me into a fellow fanatic. What a way to "kick off" the New Year. And we're off to a sunny (if coold) start. Enjoy!

    Love the way you put together this New Year greeting! A happy 2015 to you! Are you really going to miss the fling in Toronto? That would be very sad!

      Thanks, Jason. The little snowmen are so cute that I had to do something with their pictures. Happy 2015 to you as well! Probably can't make the Toronto fling as I'll still be in school and it's a very busy time so even if I could go, it would only be for the three days of the fling and it hardly seems worth such a long flight both ways. I'll be there in spirit and will enjoy all of the posts about it!

      Quiet here too other than hearing fireworks and a few neighbors reveling. Happy 2015 to you, Pauline!

      Happy New Year and I concur about the longer, lighter (and maybe even warmer, he said hopefully) days.

    Happy New Year, Peter! I'm looking forward to a totally different experience from 2014. Not my year, but our adventure was one of the highlights!

      It was a pleasure, not to mention lots of fun, to meet you and share a plant adventure! I wish you the best year ever!

    So you saved material from one of your garden center holiday shop visits to see in the new year! Very cute. I hope you're enjoying your holiday break!

      I am enjoying my holiday break but now that it's almost over, I'd like another week to do all of the projects that I'd planned.
