A very happy day to you this Earth day. If it stops raining I'll be digging in the dirt in my garden today. <br /><br />Thanks for considering the tea swap in the future, but not now, you have a lot on your plate, I know how busy moving is. Does that mean you are also leaving a beautiful garden? Leaving my garden was always the worst part of a move. <br /><br />Blessings for an abundant day!kimberly shawhttp://kimberlyshaw.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12436268.post-73617607629997790472010-04-22T06:49:03.918-07:002010-04-22T06:49:03.918-07:00The other day, I visited the campus of Swarthmore ...The other day, I visited the campus of Swarthmore college, where I found a garden of lilacs. Each bush wash a different variety. Being as curious about aromas as I am, I took it upon myself to smell each one.<br /><br />I was surprised that each one smelled completely different! They all smelled like lilacs, but some smelled more like grapes, others a little bit like queen Anne's lace, one smelled like an orchid.<br /><br />Your photo reminded me of this experience!Alex Zorachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335878680429494039noreply@blogger.com
