Beginning a new blog is a humbling experience. I look forward to sharing my gardening observations, spiced I hope with a dash of experience, a dollop of opinion, a slice of irreverence, a spoonful of love for plants, and a cup full of memories.

This from “First Thoughts” from Guess What’s in My Garden!

“I have grown to see gardening as a physical exercise, as a creative endeavor, and as a pastime full of emotional opportunities. What joy to see that first crocus in late winter! What irritation when the deer devastate a hosta bed! What satisfaction when that cutting takes root. What frustration when the Japanese beetles come! What pleasure to see a lone ‘Immortality’ iris in bloom at Thanksgiving! What delight to see a goldfinch sipping at our fountain!”
