This post is dedicated to one of my followers Vuong Duc Binh and his wife who live in Vietnam. I have no idea how he stumbled across my simple little blog, but I have enjoyed conversing with him from time to time. Last August he sent me some pictures of flowers and vines growing on his homeland. As I anxiously await the arrival of Spring, (I even have a count down on my chalkboard that I am marking off the days), I can't help think about him and his wife and wonder if flowers are still blooming there. Do they have a cold season, or is it always warm? The pictures that he sent reminded me of a tropical paradise. At times I have wished that I lived somewhere warm where I could garden all year long. But then every Fall I find myself a bit worn out and actually looking forward to putting the gardens to rest. I wonder, do they have to tend to their plants all year long or does mother nature do it for them. Just something to think about while I await the arrival of Spring. Daffodils are a comin!!

p.s. Don't forget to leave a comment on My "Luck of the Irish" post so that you will be included in my March 17th give-away!

Luck of the Irish

I have a friend who has 108 followers. After inquiring as to how she obtained so many, she said "just give something away." How true, we all love winning. As I thought about this and with St. Pattys day on it's way I decided that I was going to give it a whirl. So I will be doing a give away on March 17th. Not sure what it is going to be yet. My passions are gardening, quilting, antiquing, and decorating. There is a good chance that it will have something to do with one of those. If you want a chance to win you need to become a follower and leave a comment. I'm excited to start the hunt for a give away prize! Who knows, it may be a D.I. treasure. What ever it is start leaving those comments so you can have a chance to win. I think this will be fun and if it's a success I am going to do give aways every now and then.
