Following the example of Janus, the two faced Roman god of doorways, I am stopping to take a look back, before I look forward to step into the new year of 2011.
end of winter
Bare Ruined Choirs by Matthew Woodward, one of many gallery in the library shows and receptions
the Chicago Flower and Garden Show
the herons return
St. Patrick's Day shows and feising
spring
Hellebormania
the freakish
complete silliness
the sublime
loving the new camera
summer
Buffalo
no rain
winged beauty
great performances
autumn
the harvest
beautiful edibles
battles with squirrels
finally rain
plant of the year at Squirrelhaven
battles with cucumber beetles
a new sculpture
beloved bees
fiery foliage
the garden never stops
winter
the garden in snow
waiting for the birds
It was, on the whole, a good year. May this new year bring joy and blessings.
