Today is the first day of school for my teacher friends here. I think it is finally sinking in: I have retired! I no longer have that stress hanging over me and I can finally relax into the next chapter of my life. Up until now it has still felt like "summer vacation" so it wasn't as definite. But now, the vacation time is over and I don't have to go back to school. I am smiling.
So I went out into my garden to see what I could find and aside from the dying flowers and old veggies from the summer there was a bit of life...
A couple of our new lavender plants are in full bloom and smell great! The others are still with buds but no open flowers, a little slower to get started. I want to fill the garden with scent now that I have time to work in it! Time to research good fall plantings and what I can do now for great spring flowers.
This year I will remember to plant the sweet peas in the late Fall so we actually have them in the Spring...
It's already on my calendar!
