It sounds lovely. I too love to make my living space beautiful, but it's the inside I focus on. The outside daunts me. I was just saying to the Esposo yesterday, that I have to learn how to enjoy gardening. ;-)

I did some "gardening" this weekend too. It mearly consisted of repotting some plants not doing very well in their current locations and adding some gerber daisies to the mix. You should write a book on Garden Therapy. You always make it sound so easy and joyful, despite the hard work. Very inspiring. Thanks!

Thank you, thank you! I've actually set up a meeting with a professional blogger and PR person who wants me to start more serious writing about this, especially where gardening, nature, and kids meet. She's looking at lining up sponsors and clients for me. It's daunting, but reading this compliment from you gives me that extra shot in the arm that it just might be doable.
