Well, it was a pretty terrible year.  

I made it to 2016.

Had a birthday yesterday.

Hope for better year, although it could always be worse, I guess.

Thinking that perhaps some achievable New Years Resolutions might be a place to start.  You know the kind I am thinking about.  Not the lose 50 lbs,  only eat organic,  redecorate the entire house (yeah and go broke, if you aren't there already with those big ideas!!!), exercise every morning at 5 AM, invest $10,000,  blah, blah, blah.

I mean the buy organic salad greens to make your weekly salad, walk at lunch 3x weekly, pick a yucky, dirty, dark corner of the house to clean and redecorate, move your existing furniture around to create a new look, take cuttings from existing plants to grow new ones without the cost (just a pot, soil, and TLC), grow plants from seeds, etc.

Blog more faithfully, starting today,  check, already done (the today part, that is).

Plan weekly menus, check, sort of done (started with breakfast for the week and combined with my grocery list)

Watch and recommit on a weekly basis to following the organizing and cleaning principles in this you tube video 10 Habits for keeping a clean house

Working on the plant propagation, but that is for another blog.  The geraniums were a snap, but I was not so sure about the roses.  I only have a 50/50 success rate with roses in general and black spot is still what gets them every year.  I need to work harder on this, but so far, I am seeing success with 2 knockout ( believe that is what they are called)  roses.  

I hope.
