My own "resolutions" this year were centered around things that I already love to do, namely gardening, so this is a concept with which I wholeheartedly agree!<br /><br />I am happy to be following your blog, and look forward to reading more of your posts!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />KeriIvy Cladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03307765640404949525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-42330020031591679182013-01-17T11:57:29.713-08:002013-01-17T11:57:29.713-08:00Jennifer, this is wonderful, and a winner for sure...Jennifer, this is wonderful, and a winner for sure!<br />The photographs are absolutely gorgeous.<br />Happy day to you!<br />xo.Lisa Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06638444295223502727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-84979343314413395152013-01-17T11:51:10.100-08:002013-01-17T11:51:10.100-08:00Beautiful choice.

Passions can become obsessions (which is what has happened to the Crazy Cat Lady) but if gardening keeps us busy & provides beauty for family, friends and the gardening community, then Holley is correct.
