...#iwentforawalk to enjoy a neighbor's Matilija poppies... one of my favorite flowers in So. California where they are native. Kudos to the neighbor for taking a flower that likes a warm sunny climate and getting them to grow in the Pacific Northwest!... #poppies #pnw #flowerpower

...@betsyjwallace has a great idea called #fridaygardenwalk starting today. The idea is for garden lovers to share what's new in your garden each week. Here's what I'm excited about: our dwarf pear tree is loaded with tiny green pears this year after taking a total vacation last year with nary a pear... #fruittree #gardenlove #gardening

... Day 3 of #soulcareseconds with @kellyraeroberts is finding the sacred in the ordinary... Like the fact that my first dahlia of the season popped open today! Two months ago this plant was just a dried up old tuber... doesn't get much more magical than that! ... #flowerpower #gardenlove #simplejoys
