For all you 'Secret Garden' fans....
Comments (12)Annotated means a book or other piece of writing that has explanations and background info about various words, phrases and references in between each line, or many lines, of the text. I have an annotated Mother Goose that is absolutely fascinating and will look for this edition of The Secret Garden--thanks for telling us about it....See MoreWhat's your latest garden project? July
Comments (15)The very best thing about this list is the inspiration and encouragement that it gifts me with. I, too, garden in the evenings and not too early...Lol. If I go out late enough, the dark happens and I don't kill myself out there. Finally learning about little bites of work and gradual progress being made. FlowerLady; Our plot has Progress Energy high tension wire easement. We are on Knights Griffin Rd. PE is putting in another wire to feed the energy hungry in North Pinellas and West Pasco. If they do this on our side of the existing towers, they will take an additional easement of 150 feet. That will put the line right at the back of our house and take the foot-print of our outbuildings, including my workshop. There has been so much confusion and rumor with our neighbors (and lawyer mailings!) that we are taking a peaceful wait and see attitude and affirming that all will unfold in Divine Order. Chris; I am also interested in your bamboo construction. Please let us know how things go. Thanks, Everyone for the inspiration and letting me know I am not alone in the weeding department. Lol...

Comments (30)Mom and I shared some things. We both liked travelling and eating. She liked to cook, and while I didn't do much cooking when I lived at home (Mom and Dad both cooked, and there is only so much room in a kitchen...) I enjoyed using her best recipes when I moved out on my own. We were both introverts, but Mom less so than myself. We both shared horrid menuestral cycles. We both liked gardening, and foraging for raspberries in the wild. She enjoyed woodland hiking, and was happy when I bought the land I eventually built on and moved into (although she passed long before I was able to do anything like build here). Mom passed on the Ides of March, 2001, of cancer at age 75. Other things we weren't the same on. Our musical tastes only had a slight band of overlap. She preferred classical music piano pieces without singing, and I was able to introduce her to Scott Joplin, which she did end up liking. Not much success there, otherwise. We had differing viewpoints on certain issues of the day, but some of that is likely generational and habitual. (We never yelled about them.) She was something of a neat freak, and I remain something quite less than that. She wouldn't want to drop in and see my house today, but she would appreciate the art I have on my walls - a few pieces which had once belonged to her and Dad. She was a good and considerate woman, and I miss her....See Moreraee_gw zone 5b-6a Ohio
