This "Snow Queen" oak leaf hydrangea that I planted in September of 2005 is really putting on a show this year. Over the course of the last 2 weeks it's been a lot of fun to watch the progress.
I decided I needed my very own oak leaf hydrangea after seeing one on a garden tour years ago. Somehow, this turned out to be the perfect spot and the plant has done exactly what I wanted it to do. I can not believe that it has almost been 10 years since we moved in here and I started a new garden. I guess it's time to stop saying "the new house".
I pulled the garden journal down tonight to help me remember the proper name for the oak leaf hydrangea. It was so small when I planted it. I of course had to look at the whole journal and then run downstairs and show it to Chris too. There has been no documentation of any garden activity for 3-4 years now, but boy I am glad I captured the very beginnings. I think a 10 year update will be in order this summer so in 2025 I can look back again with as much fun as I've had tonight.
It might just be! We say "this house" and "our old house" for this house and our old one, but I guess that we should just say home or here because like you we have been here for over 10 years! xx

I've had the same issue with my current house. I kept calling it my new house for at least 12 years, until a friend asked how long I've been living here. We've been here for over 16 years now, and it still seems new to me. That's really crazy, since I was at my first house, for almost the same length of time!
