Where did the year go?

I'm finally getting back to this again,been too long,and not sure I can remember it all,so a short recap.
The rest of the summer of 2007,not much planting,it rained.
The fall,a blur,painting,holidays,blah,blah,blah.
2008!
Bought plants that are sitting,waiting... weather has been too freaky, I mean thunder and SNOW??? Did get the dafs out by the pond before they died.woohoo
I am chomping at the bit,ready to get more done,the new old bathrom is about finished,Billy did an awesome job,though he looks like he doesn't get my style,trying for a retro look to match the rest of the house.... I like it anyway.
As for the pond,this is the one and only water hawthorne that bloomed this winter,wasn't cold enough I guess.
Soon,the spring weather will be here,and I can get started on the plants.Did I say the squirrels have been quiet this winter? Haven't seen much of them,not breakin my heart.
