It was incredibly beautiful…. it’s nice to see so much focus on nature in a block buster movie.

I agree—I think James Cameron and crew are trying to get us to look around and remember where we come from—we ARE part of nature. Our gardens are one way to feel that again.

Some of my most memorable moments in the garden took place under the light of the moon. I, like your friend, found solace amidst the summertime blooms in the dark of night. Thank you for reminding me of those simple pleasures

Hey, did you see that piece in the New Yorker a few weeks ago about the new trend in backyard chickens?

Comment on obituary for a garden by Julie Brown

This obituary to a garden is a living tribute to your mother. Betty was colorful and fun to be around providing her friends as well as her family with many sunny hours. I’m inspired to take some time out of my day of summer errands to finally plant my waiting potted cosmos in hopes it brightens someone else’s day as your writing has mine.

on this day after the death of our beloved Blaise I am yet again engulfed in tears with the visions of what once were. as I read my sister’s eulogy to our mother’s garden and I am so very grateful to have you to keep fresh and alive the memories that are my childhood and from where I evolved.

What a wonderful ponder on your mother’s garden, Briggs. I enjoyed it a lot…it made me think of my own mother and her love for all things green and growing. Also her ever-changing collections: scented-leaf geraniums, orchids, heirloom tomatoes. Her gardening life continued, even when her Alzheimer’s disease distracted her, and she always loved to sit on her patio and enjoy the colors and scents.
I also remembered my large garden in Pioneer, with its 650 rose bushes of many heirloom types (the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!)…and Mme Alfred Carriere, growing on the edge of the verandah there, and now planted to edge the verandah here.
Thanks for giving me a lovely start to my cold, grey morning in Exeter…
