And........We're Back

DSC_0012
It's been almost two weeks since we've been in our new home. I'm happy to say that we finally have internet again!!! It took much longer to have service installed than we had anticipated. We decided to go with Burlington Telecom, the local cable company, instead of a national one. So far so good. I particularly like calling their customer service number and getting someone sitting in an office located a few blocks away from us as opposed to a computer or someone based in a foreign country. It's sort of a reminder of how things used to be.

One of the last things I did before leaving our old home was to pack up my citrus trees. All I really did was to remove them from their pots, brush away some excess soil, moisten the roots a bit and tied a trash bag around the root ball. This made transporting them much easier.

Three citrus trees really to be boxed.

I think they are enjoying our new home. Our small conservatory gets tons of warmth and light throughout the day. When I repotted my trees, I made sure to give them some fresh organic fertilizer. They seem to need it this time of year. Hopefully we'll get tons of new growth very soon.

  9. I would so kill for that room. When we bought this place I had a spot picked out for a small sun area for the plants. But they put the air conditioning units in there. Sigh. Now there is no good space for that.

  14. I love thatsun room - and I am sure the citrus trees are going to love it too. Sounds like you are slowing getting settled in. You picked the best time to move as you won't miss a beat on gardening this year because the move will be behind you rather than interrupting a growing season.

  18. amazing! while i will miss reading about your escapades on the bigger property, I think I'll be able to relate better to what you'll be doing in your new home with the relatively limited space and colder climate. (I'm up in Canada, living in the 'burbs on a small'ish lot) your blog has been an inspiration - keep it up!
