I launched gardening nirvana a year ago today.  It’s been fun! My fellow bloggers are a wonderful inspiration and through them I’ve learned a lot.

Early this year I challenged myself to post every day.  The discipline is wonderful. In addition to posting from home, I’ve posted from hotels in Las Vegas, Cupertino and Santa Monica and look forward to posting from LEGOLAND® this summer.  Wherever I go, so too goes my blog.  It feels like a good friend

Thank you for reading, for commenting and for clicking the like button.  It’s such a compliment when you share my words on Facebook or Twitter.

With appreciation,

P.S. We joined our friends Doug and Laura for a tie-dying party this afternoon.  They have an amazing garden, with unique specimens tucked into every corner of the yard.  Here are a few of my favorites:
