Casting the Last Gift



This New England weather has been an extra bonus gift for gardeners. Although a bit of clouds and rain might damper this morning’s sunshine, the buzzer has not gone off yet for last minute clean-up in the garden. There’s still time to rid of debris, leaves and tidy up the flower beds. But if you were good and that’s already checked off your list, here’s Tuesday’s thought – give yourself a treat to the outside. This last-minute holiday gift of warmer than usual weather has been cast so enjoy it.

Remember the words of George MacDonald. “If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give.” To my two angel Border collies that endlessly enjoy that world of the outside and always have to take me with them!

About Me

My Photo
My gardening influence starts with my Italian grandmother and mother. Their passion for gardening and fresh food has led me to my love for the earth. My Dad taught me my appreciation for nature and my border collies keep me grounded, staying in contact with it daily, whether I want to or not. My husband, Greg's passion for agriculture, horticulture, naturalistic landscape designs and travel have kept us busy in our time together. It's hard to work with and live with your husband but we manage to do it and still find laughter. I think it is because we love food, gardening and nature.
