Gardening Nirvana
gardening [ˈgɑːdənɪŋ]
noun: the planning and cultivation of a garden
nir·va·na (nîr-vän, nr-)
noun: An ideal condition of rest, harmony, stability, or joy.
I enjoy color, space, design and organization.
I also love to read, write, and putter in my garden.
If time were unlimited I would travel the world, learn to play the piano and become fluent in a second language.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Alys, I came across this inspirational story and knew you’d love it too. I hope I can find their book.

Great find, Boomdee! Thanks for sharing. I went tripping along and found a video of Bob and James on Amazon. I hope you can find a copy.
The video appears toward the bottom of this link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1444737090
Aren’t they lucky to have found each other. Thanks for finding that Alys, I posted on my facebook and told all my pals that my Christmas shopping is done, HA. I had an orange and white cat named Ginger with a big big personality. We had her for 14 years.
Ginger cats seem to be mellow and personable in my experience. We had a cat named Rusty that fit that description as well when I was a girl.
They do make a lovely team, and yes, what a wonderful Christmas gift. Full of heart and soul.
I nominated you for the Beautiful Blogger award. It is up to you if you would like to accept it or not. Take your time. Just wanted to let you know that you are beautiful!

Congrats on your well deserved award, Eleenie.
I came to your site because of a recent post by Boomdeeadda … I need all the gardening help I can get!
Thanks so much for stopping by. I’m a huge fan of Boomdee!
Where do you garden, LB?
Southwest Virginia … I do love time in the garden but I’m afraid my motorcycle distracts me
You like the wind at your back.
You live in a great climate for gardening, though. Start small and build from there.
PS Thanks for following, too!
