In this case, the dip is personal. Do you ever go through periods when you just don’t have the “get up and go” in your gardening? I’m kind of like that right now. The weather is perfect for gardening and maybe I can get out there and accomplish those many jobs on my list. But…

Online Gardening Notebooks
I’ve admired a graphics artist, Dani, for some time, going on upwards of eight years or more.
