The sweet, lovely and indefatigable Boomdee’s in town.  We’re having a great time.

If you’re new to Gardening Nirvana, it may surprise you to learn that the two of us met through blogging. We live in different countries, thousands of miles apart, but quickly realized we had something special.  The ‘written’ word brought us together, with an assist from technology. We became fast friends.  Like a twin, I missed her even before I knew she was there to miss.

Now she’s here for a week, so we’re eating, site-seeing, touring, laughing, photographing and talking our hearts out.  She came all the way from Canada to be here the week of my birthday.  Happy Boomdee to me!
