The earth laughs in flowers.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

All it takes is one slightly warm February day, here in the heartland, and thoughts of things green and growing leaps to the forefront. Looking through my photography from years gone by I go back to a summer when I was unemployed and out in the meadows looking for wild flowers. Just for today I don’t want to worry about cash flow and other sundry life duties and just bask in that summer feeling that is so ever present when you start to browse those wildflower photos. Enjoy!

Garden Planning
This is my garden planning area, a small kitchen table in my basement kitchen. It’s a great place for thinking and planning. I have two favorites for seed catalogs, Bakers Creek Heirloom Seeds and Seed Savers. Both have a really great selection. I will show a few more details when I get into this a little further.
