happy new year



Happy New year! This is no kind new years resolution but i hope that I can make blogging a regular part of 2009. The idea is that hubby and I will share this space blogging about the things that are part of our lives or our ideas. I thought i would start this first post with photos of my(small) backyard jungle. I finally had some time to spend watering the garden and doing a bit of general weeding after farewelling my extended family members who had been here for christmas and new years from various other parts of the country. It was lovely having them all here, but chaotic to say the least! It gives me a new apppreciation for the humble space over which I preside!

  1. It looks lovely Melissa. Hope you enjoy blogging. I'm from Nelson (Redwood Valley, not far from you at a guess) and it still has a place in my heart.

  2. Happy new year to Melissa! I am currently in Iraq for the Texas National Guard and was serfing the net for anyone or anything that surrounds my name. Here I see a van Boekhout in New Zealand, awesome! I get to go home soon to my regular life in the U.S and hope to work to get my "jungle as nice as yours. I wish you and your family much happiness!
