    Erin, didn't hear the sump pump until this video when you pointed it out. Must be the white noise phenomenon?!? Anyway, no complaints from me and love the painting! Thanks for all you do, and all I know thanks to you!

    No sump pump for me either until you pointed it out today. Must be my concentrated focus so I don’t miss a single thing - that or the fact I have one in my basement as well & I just LOVE a dry basement.
    The painting is very nice and a wonderful memento of a special time in your life doing something else that you obviously love to do. Hope your trip to VA turns out well and those Cherry blossoms are doing their fabulous thing while you’re in the area. Safe travels & stay well.

    Love the postcards, feels like a big community that loves gardens. I did the Master Gardener program when we moved from the Midwest to Utah. Learned a lot but my favorite part was meeting other gardeners here. I also participate in the volunteer opportunities including flower studies being done by the University here, growing veggies for a free farmer's market for senior citizens.

    Well there goes THAT sponsorship! My mom was a huge fan of Miracle Gro but she also raved about Miracle Whip so I think she was just hoping for a miracle.

    If you watch the videos on a crappy tv, while walking on a treadmill....there's no sump pump/water feature noise to be heard 🤣.
    My home office has two 'water features' also.
    On the topic of water features and office locations, my former office location (in an actual office building) had a flat roof-which resulted in a massive leak. After failed attempts at patching the roof, maintenance installed a 18 foot tall downspout under the leak, which drained into a 55 gal.drum placed next to my desk. Instant water feature. My cubicle was also next to the restrooms. 😶

I remember those America's Cup days and Dennis Connor. Was exciting and nail biting times🤣🤣🤣 I think half the country stopped work to watch the races on TV. It's a lovely wedding gift.

    Don't worry about the sump pump, I'd rather hear that than have your basement flood. You are so right on the diversity of quality instructors, or for that matter any professional.

    Erin, you're exactly right about plant choices in Utah. I did a full cut flower garden and just responsibly used drip. We've had a wonderful winter, though, so this year will be better. Those were fantastic drought resist plants for someone just trying to get nice plants to survive. They need water to flourish too, though, and some people just let them die, and then they look horrible. A little water goes a long way!

    Welcome to the WMA (Washington Metro Area)!!! Right now, the Cherry Blossoms feel like a bet at a craps table... Here's hoping that the crowds aren't too crazy, as it can feel like you're trying to board a train in Tokyo with the amount of people. The whole point of Cherry Blossoms is to O-hanami (or relax under the trees and let the blossoms gently rain down on you). We (joined by some friends from our time in Japan) spread out a blanket under the trees and had a picnic, and we got some STARES from the masses who were shuffling around the narrow path along the Tidal Basin....
