We've Had a Good Run...

That's actually what I say about my dog cause he's pretty old, but he's had a good run. With little teeth and being partially deaf, he still manages to run to the door and great me every night - I love him... It has been a great week at Spruce, albeit slightly stressful with some crazy events!! We did manage to see what seemed like a thousand trucks roll onto the lot filling us up with trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals. I have missed the life it brings to Spruce and the excitement that it creates. It's unbelievable what spring does to your perspective - it gives you rebirth, like every day is a new day, and it gives you renewed hope... Sounds hokey, I know, but it truly does give me hope. When things aren't goin so well, I take a look outside and I see life and vibrancy. I see a whole crew of people pulling together to create an atmosphere. I see comraderie, and I see friendship. Aaaah spring... it's a new beginning... Happy gardening...

Never Enough Time...

You know what I've come to realize? No matter how much you try to organize your life to prevent chaos, chaos happens... You get torn in so many directions, you try to prioritize, but something less important always seems to pull you away. Can you tell that Spruce's season is almost open us? I made the commitment to write a daily blog starting on March 1st, and now we are well into April, and this is only my second post.
Anyways, we are making headway at the store as we receive the last of our orders. Tomorrow, our shipment of Vietnamese pots lands in our lot, and it will be time to find places to put everything. The orders of giftware continue to trickle in, and our designer shows up next week to make everything fit - a job I don't envy! Suddenly our cute little store spreads out to 10 acres as we receive our green goods at the end of April. Aaaah..... Here's to a great 5th season at Spruce!
