We did something right raising her! She makes us proud. Happy Spring! "I'm glad we are gardeners too...it feels like a vitally important connection to the earth and life itself. I'm loving checking out what is coming up already in the garden. I look everyday now." I received the following from my daughter after sharing the Fortunetellers Garden article.

coming up already in the garden. I look everyday now.”

Sometimes we need to be shaken to the roots to see the sun. Maggie Ingenuity is formost, in hard times, and

In these economic times I am now sought after for help in gardening. Just next week I will be working with 5-year-olds to plant Miss Anne's Redux Gardens which are half bushel baskets lined with newspaper (recycled), pine straw (recycled) and nice soil. We will plant seeds from vegetables we get from the grocery store (even dried beans). Two days after that I will be speaking at our local herb fest. I, like you, see gardening as the ultimate analogy of our lives, we live, we grow and we die, hopefully after being somewhat productive!
