Welcome to "In the Garden of Life!"

I thought of an all encompassing title to cover topics I'd be posting, which could be anywhere from my Passion about Peonies, Gardening, Bread Baking, Desserts, Cooking, home decorating and home remodeling, hobbies such as hunting for mushrooms, drawing, hiking, sewing and driftwood sculpting to name a few.

With the heavy emphasis on gardening, I thought why not "In the Garden of Life". Our life is like a Garden. We come up with ideas (the seed), whether it's about our careers, relationships, family, friends, hobbies, health, our dreams. Then we move forward with this idea (planting the seed) we begin to nurture it with good soil, amending it with nutrients to ensure its growth, cultivate it and wait for the reward of our work with the beautiful plants, trees and flowers. We share it with our family, friends, neighbors, and the birds, the bees, the butterflies, and even in my case with CZ, my cat, who seems to delight in accompanying me when I work in the garden; practice her runs and catching skills! In The Garden of Life provides us with a way to express ourselves, relax, be with nature and meditate about life.

So there you have it. Again, Welcome to "In the Garden of Life".
