Tempus Fugit!

what a shame you cant take it all with you. it looks lovely.

Oh Lori - do you HAVE to move ?? ?? ??

I can really empathise with you here Lori, it sounds so much like the decicions i would have to make were i moving, (God forbid).
it would take me weeks to pack up my workshop of tools, not to mention the garden.
but now that i have mentioned it. Oh well thats another story,. Good luck. in your move.

Such a shame to leave such a fabulous gatden behind but how exciting to have a new patch to create

out with the old and in with the new
x x x

I went through a move 3 years ago. NEVER again !
You have all my sympathy Lori. It's a very difficult time. I'm looking forward to seeing your new garden though :o)

Think of it as a mission Lori ..what did you originally inherit and what are you leaving behind before you move and no doubt improve .

After all we are all here temporarily .. so sure you ll make the best of your new home .

Thanks for the votes of support...My goY friends are a great source of optimism .... yes life goes on and change is good!
Thank you everyone...hopefully I shall be able to post some good news soooooon!!

Just found this blog. It will be hard, but you have to think of all the lovely surprises you'll find in your new garden - hope it's a good one!. And it's surprising how many 'things' we can actually do without and not miss - I still have unpacked boxes from our move here 6 years ago! We brought far more stuff than we really needed to bring, and paid for that in the moving bill. I'm sentimental like you, and keep all the children's drawings, memorabilia, etc., and my husband isn't, so I know what you're going through.
Good luck with your search and your sale!

Thank you Elke...I guess I should do a follow up with the blog ...We decided in August of last year to consider the possiblity of staying another winter in this house.... and I admit I was dreading moving a household and a garden...but our resolve is strengthened now...we are definitely moving...and I have decided that I don't have to take anything from the garden....in fact...I think I'll only take a couple of rosebushes that I can't bear to part with and a few of my perennial herbs...and that won't amount to a great deal... the next garden will be or not be...and I will have a whole new canvas to paint!

Great thinking Lori - you will be able to exploit all that experience you have gleaned over the years and paint the most colourful of pictures on your new canvas .....

I think I was driving my husband crazy all last summer...go go go...and I wasn't feeling well...it was a great relief to just stop worrying about it...and get over myself!! lol...so by March I'll be back at it again...oh dear.

Do not fret Lori as you will have run out of worrying material by now, so keep healthy and happy and look forwards and not backwards!!

Thanks T60...will certainly try....
