I am so sorry
that I have not been
around to visit
your lovely blog ...
to see what you have
been up to lately.
I am also sorry
that I have not had time
to return your comments.
That makes me feel really bad.
My design job has
kicked into high gear for the
last four or five weeks
and we have been
trying to get things ordered
and in place before school
is out and our kids
are home again!
You know how that goes,
once summer starts ---
all your inside projects
get put on hold.
We don't want that
to happen so we
have been on a roll.
Which means everything
else has been put on hold
or pushed to the
"back burner"
as they say.
So I just wanted to tell
you that this is temporary
and I will be back soon.
Hanging in there!
Taking one day at a time.
Thinking of you
in the meantime.
Some pics of the green
yard and new spring growth
to share with you
today.

Hang in there, Alison! We all have times like that in our lives...and it always seems to settle back into some semblance of normalcy at some point...well, unless you are like me- I am still searching for normal.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are lovely-you haven't lost your touch! xo Diana
Glad you are ok. Life often gets busy and we have to put blogging aside for a bit.
ReplyDeleteSee you when you get back!
Beautiful photos, Alison! You are living your life...just as you should be...we understand! Have fun with that job! XO
ReplyDeleteAlison: I have missed your posts and was only hoping all was ok. Glad to hear it is just part of being normal and living life. Our blogs take up a great deal of our time and I know sometimes a break must be taken (and I am still working full time in the design field . . .I get it!) Actually, I am going into RUSH on Friday for surgery and will be OFF cyberspace for a couple of weeks. So to life, to inconveniences and to health . . . I look forward to your return and mine as well!!

Alison, life has a way of taking us where it will. Glad that your design business is full steam ahead. That's a good thing! Your spring greens look lovely. My garden is happy after recent rains. My geraniums are blooming again. Looking forward to June 1st and a look at everyone's garden.

Gotta do, what ya gotta do. The blog, and your audience will be here when you're ready. Life first.
ReplyDeleteMay is such a busy time for everyone! Good luck with your projects! Your garden pictures are very fine.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel !
ReplyDeleteSounds like all good things though, Alison. Latley my life feels crazy too....I keep saying there just arent' enough hours in the day. So hoping summer will bring some relaxation and down time! Best of luck with finishing up your project!
ReplyDeleteOf course you are missed....but I'm happy you have design jobs to keep you busy :)
ReplyDeleteYour yard and spring "green" is as charming as the interior of your home. Enjoy it!
Our iris are fading fast. They've been so beautiful this year....the white roses are outdoing themselves, and we're waiting for the clematis vines to be covered with blooms.
Your gardens look lovely, Alison! Real life comes first.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty landscape! We all have to live life in addition to blogging and sometimes there's just not enough time. I'm about to take a break in a few days myself, as I usually do in the summer. With kids at home, it's important we spend as much time as we can with them. We'll never get this time back but blogging will always be here.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Hi Alison,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing your beautiful pictures.
Have fun with your job. We will be here when you return :)

No worries Alison, we all have times like these! Your yard looks BEAUTIFUL!! Great pics!
ReplyDeleteHi Alison! It is nice to see your post as you are missed! Your gardens look lovely. It's a busy time of year outside and the inside does get neglected. We've been battling dandelions here! What a crop this year!! Blessings, Pamela
ReplyDeleteYour yard is looking wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSometimes we just have to be absent for a little while. Being busy in your business is a good thing. Your gardens are looking lovely……..Miss you.

I mentioned this to another blogger too........ I don't notice when my blog buddy's don't leave a comment, only when they do!

Alison...your home and gardens are so phenomenally gorgeous...First things first, just take care of what is important and everything else will fall into place...Even though we miss you, we know you will be back and I shall very patiently wait...until then, have fun with your projects...I am sure they are very exciting and your clients are happy to have you and your talents!
ReplyDeleteNo worries! We understand! I find blogging can create self appointed stress. I put demands on myself that don't always make sense. Especially at busy times like this! We'll be here when you return!
ReplyDeleteNo worries, Alison. Glad to hear your project is moving along. Spring and early summer are such a busy time with yard work. Your photos are beautiful.
