Well, it has been a long, harsh winter here in Atlanta! I can’t recall one worse than this year’s experience. With March fading quickly, I am ready, ready, ready to get back into the “swing” of things around the house. Making up my spring to-do list conjures up many feelings: good because I feel productive, dread because I hope that what I’ve envisioned for the task doesn’t take on a life of it’s own, thus, complicating mine!, and excitement because this means warmer weather and being outside again is right around the corner! I’m researching some of my old gardening books and want to plot a course for a tiny rose garden…specifically roses that are considered “historic” or “heritage” ones. I’ll keep you posted as my excitement/knowledge grows, pun intended :).

This is part of a private collection here in Atlanta. My father is also a collector of vintage cars and he gets the opportunity to tour other collections in the southeast. I tagged along and got to see some amazing cars. Truly they don’t make them like they used to.

I get asked these days “Jodi, where are you? Are you still on TV?”. And the answer is YES! You can find me every saturday morning on Today’s Homeowner with Danny Lipford! I joined Danny and his crew back in 2008 as the segment host of Best New Products. We highlight all the great new products that have hit the shelves or are going to make it the shelves of your local Home Depot very soon. So check your local listings to see what channel/time we make it into your home each week! You can see some of our past Best New Products segments in the video  link in my menu bar…enjoy!

Off to a great start so far! Going to make it my New Year’s Resolution to use my Canon 60-D more in the coming year. So many times I get too busy and I don’t notice the things around me…in my neighborhood, community, the great state of Georgia, etc. So with camera in tow, I am setting out to take a shot at least once a month that I can feel good showing. I am not a professional photographer. Let’s just get that out front now. But I do love this medium. So here’s my January picture taken up on the Square in my town. A gift to my city from the City of Brotherly Love…
