    Its a lovely life you are living, so creative and engaging. I’d love to see a profile of you, and become a ‘follower’, if you ever add that feature to your blog.

    The moon stories were interesting. You gave me the idea following the phases might just be a great way to design overcoming- procrastination into your life and planting.

      @Donna: Thanks! Yep, that was my vegie patch. It looks huge in the photo, but it’s really only 15 ft by 8 ft. A wide lens and low angle can do wonders for perspective – I think she’d make a great photographer for real estate agents!

      @Sudeep: Thanks! I have plans to write some articles on the various herbs we grow, but it could be a while before I get time to write them up. So many ideas, and so little spare time!
