I thought Carol had such a good idea writing about being thankful and I thought maybe I could write a little about being thankful but cannot write a poem.

I am thankful for variety:

   People who design gardens in all different kinds of ways so we can only express our delight and wonder and it gives us courage to try our own ideas. 

   People who work with plants and develop new varieties, colors and disease resistance.

  People who save varieties of plants that might be lost if not for their efforts and bring so much variety into our gardens.

  People who work hard every day to grow the food we eat.

  People who show us how to use the mundane and found objects to make our gardens beautiful and those who make expensive and beautiful objects.

  People who have the gift to write and teach us to garden.

  People who have the gift of photography and show us the beautiful pictures of this wonderful world of plants and trees.

People who share what they have with others who do not have as much.

Thank you one and all!
