Working in the garden, looking and admiring nature, watching how organisms interact all feed my inner being. Getting my hands into the soil connects me with the earth.
This is probably why I am so drawn to work in clay (porcelain and other earth clays).
Here in my Mid-Atlantic, US garden, which is considered Hardiness Zone 7A by the USDA, Spring is here and will soon be coming to a close.
I have cleared most of the Coneflowers and Black Eyed Susans that had Aster yellows and am keeping a close eye for other plants showing symptoms this year.
I am delighted to say that I am again, falling in love with my garden. 2011 growing season stuck a fork right through my heart, and I am happy it is now in the past and nature is taking her turn at moving things forward into the 2012 growing season...

Teeny Tiny Icy Balls...
I love the noise these make when shoes come down on them...
I may like the sound but not all the damage they can do. We are supposed to get 2 inches of ice tonight so I'm trying to use up all the electricty I can before it goes off. Hope you are safe and warm!
Didn't know you had a gardening blog! I'll have to follow it now. Congrats on the master gardener - that is on my bucket list. I'm excited to hear your adventures!
