hi everyone. I'm sorry to have been gone for so long. It' good to see people's names here and the active chat. Even though I have been away for a long time, I have thought about you all every time i go out to enjoy my yard.
I anted to let you all know that my father, who is 85, is now in the terminal stages of cancer. He and the rest of my family live in the Portland OR and Seattle areas. So it seems i have reached the time in our family life when i need to move back to the Pacific Northwest to be with family.
This is a huge move for me--we have lived in this house for almost 10 years and i have poured a lot into trying to make sure i have pretty blooms to look at. RIght now it's an especially gorgeous time of year--dogwood, redbud, azaleas, and lilac are all in bloom at the same time. I can't tell you how much i'll miss it.
Anyway, i will need to sell the house and would be happiest if someone who is also a gardener could buy it so they can continue to improve what i've started, and not just chop things down and tear garden beds up willy-nilly. So I wanted to be sure to let people here know that my house will be up for sale sometime in the next couple months, just in case someone knows someone who knows someone who is looking to move to montgomery county in MD, and would appreciate already-started garden beds to be creative with and many flowering trees to enjoy. If I'm not able to find a gardener to purchase the house, then, i would at least like to make sure some of my beloved bloomers (at least the ones that can be moved) find good homes, and I couldn't think of any better folks for that than you all.
Catmint
