I wanted to have something original to write about today with descriptive words, glitzy pictures and interesting topics. However, I find myself this year with little time left, a busy, busy schedule and nothing of importance that would appeal to most. Yet I wanted to mark the changing of seasons, and the end of another calendar year. The day on Friday (12/19) was spent in Indianapolis; and I thought of getting some pictures of the ‘city’ sights, but no camera (cell phone camera acceptable but not in traffic.). Road construction was everywhere on the north side of town, requiring advanced driving skills just to stay on course (and possibly to stay alive!). Traffic was extremely heavy and maddening during the afternoon rush hour.
So with these thoughts in mind, I decided today, December 20, 2014 to just be myself and write something short, heartfelt and appropriate for a gardening blog post! As stated in the first paragraph I really cannot think of anything specifically personal, interesting or important. About the only thing coming through the fog of the holidays are pictures of past winter months and Christmas. Pictures are always an important part of history whether personal or not. So I will add what pictures I have available from last year (and some from the year before). There's nothing unique about the weather here today, but according to the weather experts that will all change before Christmas next week. Many are saying a huge winter storm will impact the upper Midwest and Northeast. We will have to wait and see.
I am thankful for the opportunity to be a small part of this gardening community known as ATP. It has become a database of useful plant documentation and information. The pictures on this site are first class as seen in our recent photo contest. ATP members are among the most helpful, knowledgeable and courteous I’ve encountered anywhere on the web. Although I’m not on here as much as I’d like, this is my first stop in seeking information for different plant cultivars and photos. We can search for other information and check forum discussions on specific topics, or browse the Green Pages for useful comments and experiences about specific gardening businesses. And, my favorites are sometimes found in the Ideas and Articles section. This gives me an insight to other thoughts and opinions, as well as life experiences. Finally I am partial to the Blogs for differing perspectives and viewpoints. Rarely will my comments be read by more than a handful of readers. But, to those who venture onto this post please read on.
