Why I Blog
I blog because I want to share with others my heartfelt conviction that serenity gardens of all kinds should be part and parcel of our 21st century cultural landscape.
I blog because I want to share with others my heartfelt conviction that serenity gardens of all kinds should be part and parcel of our 21st century cultural landscape.
And so, within this garden blog compendium, I highlight all the cool ideas, stuff and techniques that avid gardeners and designers can use in an outdoor space devoted to tranquility.
It is a spectacular feeling to know that someone in Stavanger, Norway, Athens, Greece, Adelaide, Australia or Hinsdale, Illinois is reading my words....I take that honor very seriously. And so I stir this 'cyperpot' almost daily and look for plants, gardens, items, stories, photos and people that might excite and inspire other serenity garden devotees.
People often ask me how I get the ideas for my blog entries and I must admit that I don't know. I frequently wake up and my mind has a germ of an idea in it ...as I sit down to write, it unfolds and voila! the dream is reality.
I was born in a Rabbit Year.
People born in the year of the Rabbit like the following:
Color : Pale Green
Gems : Crystal, Emerald, Pearl
Gifts: CD, fine wine, easel, lyrics books
Pastimes: Writing poetry, hiking, planting gardens, chatting with friends [and writing blog posts]
Rabbits love to learn about different cultures.
Rabbits spend a lot of their lifetimes trying to find inner peace. [lifetimes?]
They like to release their creative energies with such things as photography.
Well - that about sums me up.

This blog is my way to meet and stay in touch with other serenity garden aficionados. I talk about what interests me and hope that maybe I bring some inspiration to the people who view these pages.
I point my camera lens at nature's glories and man's creativity. I hope, through this blog, you are inspired by the simple, the rustic, the idea and the dream.
