home, garden, life was born on WordPress one year ago this month. Ninety-four heart-felt posts reside here and one-hundred followers kindly subscribe, come what may. More than seven-thousand folks dropped by, from all corners of this planet. Wow! A lot of clicks and kind comments from kindred bloggers. Full circle—I am honored, humbled, and encouraged by this technology.
My cousin asked me, “what is a blog and why do people blog?” I replied, “blogging is a world-wide community platform where individuals create, share, educate, and inspire.” Blogging is a snapshot into the world’s eye of humanity. Every emotion is displayed and support often comes in the form of comments from fellow bloggers who get the message. Blogging is a place where one’s passions live on.
If I had two wishes for blogging, they would be for readers to take a moment to comment and to explore the entire site, rather than merely read the current post. This blogger has come full circle in the past year, and will pause while this season comes to an end.
Many thanks to WordPress, my followers, and for the opportunity to make a small difference from my home, garden, life.

My first visit here… I did take the time to explore a bit, lovely sentiments. We are also a Monarch Waystation, though this year we had so few in the gardens and no eggs although I was vigilant at hoping and wishing and watching for them. Keep posting!

I will raise close to 300 monarchs here this year. LOTS of work! Hope they find their way over drought ridden Texas, or better yet winter in Florida! 😉 Did you check out my blog, “the thing about monarchs” to see how I sleeve the mighty in the garden? I also raise them indoors in lettuce containers.

Congratulations Diane for the full circle! To respond to your blog’s birthday wish, I am taking a moment to comment and I’ll try to explore the 94 posts (over time) of your site. I agree with your wishes. I’ll always try to read at least five posts at a time of each blog I discover. It is my way of appreciating the time, effort and emotions of the storyteller. Looking forward to visiting more of your posts. 🙂 Fae.
