An Affirmative

| 2 Comments

This was just a wonderful week for me. It was like the warmth of a Southern breeze and soft spring rains that soften the earth. How we look for those things, because we know that it brings forth the latent seeds of a new season. That was how I felt when I read my friend’s “remembering“.

Gisela commenting that she found my blog useful to her was another affirmation. The entire motivation of writing about gardening has always been to provide others with something useful in their endeavors to make a garden. To know there was someone who was given something of value for their own experience made my effort worthwhile.

Another fork in the path was a meeting of brainstorming with someone creating a new website for our community in Central Ohio that has the aspect of bringing spiritual transformation into people’s lives. The metaphorical elements of prayer being seen in garden terms was an illuminating exercise in my own mind.

All in all… a good week so far.

    It’s always nice when we have a week like that – even a day is good.

Oh, hi there!

I was a garden blog pioneer, and began writing on this blog in 2003. Before that I had begun a garden website that has been at its own domain since 2006, Ilona's Garden.

I still love writing, gardening, and art after all these years, although travel and grandchildren have become a big part of my life, now.
