I think the creativity flows more easily with this approach. I may have missed a few of your posts, Helene, but not because I wanted to. I would like to visit your blog and garden every day. :) Sometimes life throws circumstances in the way, though, but I will always be a faithful follower of your blog. Plus, now that I've been to London and your garden, I have a personal connection and perspective.Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-86818363399864416212015-02-19T16:54:57.092-06:002015-02-19T16:54:57.092-06:00Yes, an inspiring world is right!

I feel the same and enjoy different blogs for different reasons, but the main reason I keep coming back to certain ones is because the writers feel like friends. That is the greatest gift that blogging has brought me. Having gardening friends all round the world and learning about the challenges of gardening in all these places is wonderful.<br />My sympathy for your losses.chlorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02037607962980090244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-60612953091126412242015-02-15T23:35:25.756-06:002015-02-15T23:35:25.756-06:00I know from my own experience the dilemma of wheth...I know from my own experience the dilemma of whether to share such a personal thing with your online friends or not. I think we all have to just find what’s right for us personally, there is no right or wrong here. My sincere condolences to you all, my thoughts are with you and your family Beth.<br /><br />Your post is touching a topic I discussed just the other day with someone, the fact that some blogs can be well visited for years while others crash after a short time. I have stopped a long time ago wondering what my visitors would like me to write….I just write and post what I have on my mind and I am so happy there are so many people that come back again and again to follow what happens in my tiny garden. You are one of my most faithful visitors Beth, I don’t think you have missed one single post I have written since first time you visited some oh…more than 3 years ago? I really value that kind of visitors, thank you for staying put with me!HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-10722011461746063222015-02-15T17:10:37.595-06:002015-02-15T17:10:37.595-06:00I found many bloggers whom I like to read, and adm...I found many bloggers whom I like to read, and admire in your list...very clever.

There is simply no other way so we accept it and move on. Most of my family has passed and it is a road I am so tired of. As for your blogging profiles, I have no idea where I fit, except for the photo comment which will never be about me. I'm just glad when my finger isn't in the picture. I've learned so much from blogging that to compare my garden pre-blogging to now, is to witness a dramatic change for the better. You have been part of that change. :o)Casa Mariposahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647089868277238456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-52526143838638761732015-02-12T19:56:20.784-06:002015-02-12T19:56:20.784-06:00Thanks, Angie.
