When I was growing up, I used to live in Maine. On summer breaks, I would spend the summers with my grandfather. Grandpa grew everything, but was especially proud of his strawberries and tomatoes. Now that I think back, he was very passionate about his gardens. He would say, if I can't eat it, I don't grow it. You see grandpa grew up in the great depression, and realized how hard food was to come by in those days. So he only grew edibles. I didn't know at the time, but my grandpa was grooming a future gardener. I spent three simple summers with him, thought gardening was a ton of work, and wasn't as fond of it as he was.
As time went buy, my grandpa passed, and I found myself doing little gardens where ever I lived, it wasn't until I moved here on snowbelt that I realized how much he had instilled in me his wisdom and passion for gardening. After 10 years here, I can honestly say, my grandpa would be proud, but would still mumble under his breath, you can't eat those flowers! .........Steve
First time here to your blog. I assume the graphics are your art. They are clever. I also do art among other things on my blog. I did want to mention that the heavy condensed text is a bit hard to read. Much easier to read in the sidebar.
ReplyDeleteThe art I paid for. purchased from a clip art company.I agree with you on the hard to read point and I will change that. Thanks for bringing that to my attention, and thanks for stopping by......Steve
ReplyDeleteI saw that you are an artist.
ReplyDeleteI just assumed, sorry.It is still cute. Thanks for visiting my site too. I do a lot of drawing and painting, and have carved a few ducks. I am not real good at decoys though.
