First post

This is my first post.
I started a jounal in a very nice handmade book in the winter of 1998. I gave it up about 6 months later when I had the stroke.
So I've gardened at home for 10 years and it is my 2008 garden resolution to start it up again,. At first my thought was that I would get more advanced in sketching and drawing, but even with the time not-working, I have not done that. My reasoned excuse is that my hands tremor too much. So, I am going to be taking photos for the blog! I think I will include some that were from the garden club tour in May.
I have a degree in Landscape Architecture and a license, but it's been so long since I practiced that you would hardly know. I have an extensive backround in art, as an art consultant and art / architecture publishing. It's my design skills that lead me to flower arranging. I can grow the flowers, cut them and arrange them, and all of it is calming (usually).
Over the years (I have lived here in the Sunnyside neighborhood since 1985) I have redone the back yard two or three times. The flower garden stated as a 2' wide strip about 5 foot long. I bought from White Flower Farm and didn't know about any local nurseries.
I had never planted a perennial before! I've come a long way!
Dave is helping me with all the techie stuff. I can't thank him enough.
