2013 has been all about spiffing up my place. I love my little home.
Roses were trimmed and weeds were pulled in my "yard". Too bad I didn't take a before picture. Sheesh! but this will kind of be the in-between picture because we are going to add more pea gravel and rocks and such. Maybe a succulent garden. This little spot gets lots of sun, so I need to figure out what to plant. (I love how Suey is sniffing something on the air.) 
Look what I found in the gravel while weeding! This cute little monkey! (I also found 18 cents worth of change, and a spare key to my house!)
I found this cat and hummingbird at the thrift store for 99 cents each.
Today I spent organizing my garage. I actually park my car in here! I've lived in a lot of places with garages, but have never been able to use them for my car. Now I can!
Then while trying to come up with a solution of lack of counter space in my small upstairs bath, I searched Pinterest and found this idea:
A magazine rack to hold my curling iron and blow dryer and get them off the counter.
And finally, I learned this week that you have to let people help you. I can be very stubbornly independent. I have had to do almost everything myself for so long, that I've kind of got into the habit of not relying on anyone else.
Well, sometimes when you don't let other people help you, you unintentionally shut them out and hurt their feelings. That's what I learned.
I've got to realize that others want the satisfaction and the blessing of being able to serve or provide for me. I don't always have to be so independent. It's ok to rely on others. It blesses us both. And that's how my freezer got full.

So, for the new year I am going to make a commitment that I will be as faithful a commenter as you were for us! On that note! I love what you did to your front space. A succulent garden would be so pretty there!
