I'm thankful for reliable performers...
...and pleasant new surprises.
I'm thankful for the few butterflies we had this year, and that my garden could offer them some food and respite, even if only for a moment.
I'm thankful for garden buddies who provide blogalong passalongs.
I'm thankful for botanical oddities that keep me guessing...
...peppers that did the best they could in adverse conditions...
...and plants that remind me to pay attention to them, even when they're relegated to a less-than-perfect spot and deserve better.
I'm thankful for the rewards that gardening provides...
...and the continual promise of more beauty to come, year in and year out.
Most of all I'm thankful for you, dear readers, because without you I'd just be talking to myself! Happy Thanksgiving!
