It's a week in to the new year
Welcome to Mary's Garden. I hope you're all keeping warm. It has been cold in Utah, but nothing like back east.
Here is the garden tip for the week:
Keep The Pets Out:
Animals (cats especially) seem to think all of the hard work you've put into your garden looks like a huge litter box. To keep them from pooping on your basil, strategically place a few plastic forks around your plants to deter them from destroying your fresh herbs, fruits, and veggies.
The first week of the year, how did it go for you? Did you make a list? Did you make resolutions? Goals? Or something else? Or did you just say bag it?
If you did do some type of New Year's goals, how well did you do this first week? Most people keep to their goals for the first month, but then gradually things start to slide. With a shrug people think they'll pick it back up the next day. Do they though? Not often.
According to Forbes.com only 8% of the people keep their New Year resolutions. This is the reason I don't really do resolutions. I do a lose budget, because I never keep to those either. So what do I do? I do individual lists. Every week I use my calendar as my huge To-Do list. To do my monthly promotion it's set for every month. For any updates I want to do, I put on the calendar. Etc.
A lot of people want to lose weight or eat healthy in the new year. In this area I got up and down. I do try and as resolutions or goals go, this seems to be one I can actually do.
Let me know how you did this first week. And what you think will happen the rest of the year.
Coming Soon February 2018
Abandoned (Book VI Beckett Series)
Blurb:
Glenna Beckett loves her family dearly, but being the youngest of six can be overwhelming. Moving across country helped her learn who she was outside the family. She’s built a successful business in the form of a quaint shop on Main Street of Calistoga, that sells a bit of everything vintage, the new age term for antique. What more does she need?
Then he walked into her shop. International playboy, Lance Gordon. After a whirlwind courtship he asks her to marry him. Burying a niggle of doubt in the pit of her tummy, she says yes. He’s even agreed to have the wedding in Brooklyn so her family can attend. But he never arrives.
Glenna refused to believe she’d been abandoned at the altar and asks her brother, Tyler, to contact an agent friend on the West Coast to search for Lance.
Patrick McGinnis can’t believe he’s walking into a prissy shop in the high end of the Napa Valley searching for a missing groom. The bride, Glenna Beckett, is everything he feared, drop dead gorgeous, and a spoiled brat. Not that he’d ever tell her brother that. He hates wild goose chases, and this mission is exactly that. Patrick’s certain the playboy fiancé is off wooing some other delectable creature.
Unfortunately, once Patrick started to dig, he finds there’s more to the tale and it will take all his skills as an agent to keep Glenna safe. Especially when the case takes a turn and threatens the safety of his son, Finn.
