Happy Birthday, Dahlia!
Just wanted to take this opportunity to wish my awesome, rad, and wonderful wifey Dahlia a very very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Dahlia – I really thank you for your encouragement, patience, vision, patience, and positive outlook (and more patience) with everything – especially with all of these last few recent challenges and relocations we’ve had to go through. There is no way I, our family, or the plants could of made it this far without you. You are the cornerstone and the pillar of strength that has held all of us together. Thank you for everything that you do, and for being the beautiful person that you are. I love you so much. And the plants love you so much too! 🙂
For those of you who don’t know – this very blog would NOT of been possible or even exist for that matter without her. It was her encouragement that pushed me to really start photographing and writing bout the plants. (I suspect that perhaps she was just tired of hearing so much freaking NERDY PLANT TALK from me and got me doing this. Maybe it was her diversion to get me to talk about the plants to a wider audience? Haha! 🙂 ) Anyway – I really thought she was nuts because at the time, I had no idea that good garden/plant blogs existed. I never blogged. I thought blogging was uber nerdy and dorky. But then again, I am a uber plant nerd-dork anyway. I did a quick Google search for “SF Bay Area garden blog” and ran across Far Out Flora. Meg and Matti’s awesome blog really inspired me and I wanted to be like them when I grew up! And so, that’s how it all began. From there I started following many other plant/garden blogs/sites and getting connected with fellow people who share my love of plants. I am so thankful…
Dahlia, thanks again for everything. I’m freakin’ honored to have you as such an amazing part of my life. (And my garden’s life too!)
Happy Birthday!
