It's nice to see you're a Mr. Greenthumb.

Nothing wrong with getting a little dirty now and then ;)

I miss having a garden. Someday I'll have a backyard full of wildflowers.

Matt is a naughty, dirty, boy.

When I lived up north, the seed and bulb catalogs would arrive in the middle of winter. I'd spend hours and hours poring over them next to snowy windows over steaming cups of coffee. Imagining the garden glory to come. Your world cracking a botanical smile.

Wow! You've been busy with your new camera. Great shots. I can hardly wait for 12 or 12!

Notice I didn't touch the "dirty boy" comment. ;-)

I was just now out in the backyard with Mason and staring at the neighbor's beautiful flowering forsythia. Thinking how pretty it was, so early in the blooming season, on such a nice morning. And now, your picture! Thanks for sharing you naughty, dirty boy.

OK, when I'm ready for a retreat, I'm coming to your house! I love forsythia and iris! And the pond!

RYC: I'm terribly jealous that your sweetie does that for you! It just makes me like him more.
