putting in the seed,
nourishing it and gathering nourishment from it,
pruning and weeding its growth,
protecting it, loving it, worrying over it."

I'm still tweaking my hairdo. It was dramatic but I love it. It's not always fixed like the photo on my blog of course. That was me all doodied up with eyelashes and all.
Your garden is looking so grand. Love that outdoor porch. I enlarged both photos and saw a real formal cottagy look to it all.
I've missed you so let me look around a bit. Hmmm what's new?

Happy, happy, happy Birthday, dear Anna! I've missed YOU in my crazy life that seems to get crazier!
You're on, Monica! Often great advice comes from those who have not had children :)
The laugh of the day, dear Rose, and a wonderous thought!
With your eye behind the lens, know the mystery tulip shoot will be stunning, Marnie!
Hello dear Connie and thank you ... good well wishes!
Thanks Jarlin ... keep us all motivated!
Hi Robin and thanks ... I have many shots following the seasons of my perennial garden, often focusing in on maco ... stopping for the moment in awe.
Indeed I do and thanks Shady. Spring-fresh is perfect for emerging hosta and how 'bout unfurling ferns ... my ultimate favorite! The kingly 'pawn' is an old chimney pot from England ... soon to sport a huge fern!

Your close-ups are always beautiful but it's helps to see where they come from.
Thanks,
