So impressive! I admire your physical work in landscaping as an artist and as a woman in the field. Sharing your experience will inspire others as you write it back to life.

Tenacity served you well as it did me when I stuck to writing and finally published my first picture book after almost 30 years. I was encouraged to keep going with the occasional sale of a poem or op ed.

From your words I can see and feel your great passion for gardening as well as writing and continue to be inspired. TY

Yes, the writing keeps me going, when I can no longer garden. Thank you as ever, Dianne!
