I have no idea who originated that quote. I'm pretty sure it wasn't Martin Luther King, Jr, though.
So here's the deal. As a Certified Desert Landscaper I am trained to create wonderful low water, low maintenance gardens in the desert using beautiful desert-adapted plants in such a way as to make you feel like you are not living in a desert at all. But if you love to garden yourself and don't mind pruning and you really want to grow raspberries and bamboo, I can make that happen, too.
It's really about compatibility, isn't it? Are you compatible with your garden? Or is your garden holding you back, tying you down, or comparing you unfavorably to other gardeners? Are you finding it impossible to please your garden? Has your garden become distant and refuses to return your phone calls? Has your garden met someone else?
OK, so I'm mildly freaking out here because my First Ever Serious Boyfriend (not including David Cassidy) just contacted me through this blog. You just never know who is going to come out of the woodwork! Can't remember the last time I saw him. Late 1980's? I'm a little self-conscious now that I know people are actually reading this thing. (The most liberating day of my life was when I realized that what other people think of me is none of my business.

Turns out he googled me! (We googled each other a lot back in the 80s, but it didn't mean the same thing back then. Oh, he had such nice legs.) He says he's glad to see I'm living a productive life. (Who? Me productive?) Anyhow, I have now googled him (yeah, because you know it never even occurred to me to google him or any of my old boyfriends ever before, right?) and I'm very PROUD to say he studied ornithology and he is now called doctor, and he's the Executive Director of a very worthy non-profit organization. He is leading a VERY productive life and he's happily married with children and he didn't turn out to be a Bob Dylan impersonator like I thought he might.
Ahhh, I can say I knew him when... Actually, I could probably blackmail him with some of the things I know. But I won't.
