It was fun going through so many gardens recently. The Minter Garden with Mom, the Minoru Garden with Mom, Sennie, Kathy etc. and again with the Haus. It was such a treat for them to see the rhododendrom in full bloom while I get it every year. Can't take life for granted for being so blessed. Then eight private gardens in White Rock with Kim during a fund raising garden tour. Now it gets her all interested in making her own garden.

I think gardening is a very good hobby.
- one can work off the negative energy
-you make friends trading plants and ideas
-you learn what works and what doesn't. Plants are like people. They thrift or die under different condition
-It allows you to contemplate in quietness while your hands are still busy
-You get to enjoy the result of long labour
-you marvel at God's creation in nature
