Compulsive Transplanting Disorder

The tulips and the couch are all to blame, really.

When I toppled the piano over a few weeks ago, I thought I had gotten the latest dose of my Compulsive Transplanting/Rearranging Disorder out of my system. Oh no. I kept fiddling around with where to put the couch, since of course, when you move the piano, you have to move everything else around, too.

To give you an accurate representation here, I left this message on a good friend's voicemail:
Is it too strange if I switch the living room and the dining room?

And then those blasted pink tulips kept staring at me from the counter where they hadn't budged since I bought them a few weeks back. Pity they don't plant themselves. (Can you imagine!?!) In order to plant those where I wanted them, I of course was forced to transplant a few other plants. And then the rest of the garden, too.

So...about 10 days later and my house and garden are (almost) put back together again.
I'm hoping to post a little home & garden tour in a few weeks. :) I love a little house change up.



I know I've missed several Harvest Mondays and Garden Blogger's Bloom Day, too. The mental queue is full of posts that just haven't gotten to the keyboard yet. In consolation though, I'm only a few short weeks away from having garden blogging being the only garden activity I can do! Eeeek!

  1. I have two friends who are like energizer bunnies and move their furniture every three months. Wish I had that kind of energy. Can't wait to see the house and garden tour photos.

  2. Can you come and rearrange my house and garden? It will be warmer here through November, LOL! Looking forward to your tour and glad to have you back in the blogosphere!

  3. I changed my living room with my ding room once. I liked it for a while because the dining room had the fireplace, plus I have a huge table. The garden is always getting rearranged. I am anxious to see what you have done in and out.

  4. I play several rounds of Happy Plant Hokey Pokey every single fall!!! This year I am moving dozens of plants out of the shade and rearranging others. Since one of my dogs is going blind, I can't rearrange the furniture but that's ok. I like it where it is! I'm sure your new plant/furniture combos are wonderful!!

  5. I have often wondered about switching my living room and the dining room. But DH thinks it would be odd. :( The thought of bulbs planting themselves sounds wonderful! Of course, if they had a mind of their own, they might not want to go where I wanted them in the garden! lol I am almost to the point of rearranging my garden, just haven't gotten that energetic boost yet!

  6. Eeeek is right! We're in the downward spiral now, Hanni. I can't believe how short the days are getting already! I can't wait to see your garden tour!
