WOW

 

Another winter has gone by and now its 2012!

 

It was a crazy warm winter that still had just enough snow that I could ski on the farm from Dec 23rd to March 8th. and ended with a "Chinook".

 

Lets hope that the snow comes back next year! I figure its going to be a dry summer since the ground water is low.

 

Anyway I still had to get away to find some sun and heat during the winter to get ideas;

 

Costa Rica and Honduras (again)

       

 

Next  my annual trip to the cradle of modern gardening; Holland, (also my birth place). The Floriade opened April 5th and I was there.

The Floriade expo is  every 10 years and is a horticultural candy store for gardeners!

We also went to a few other gardens, though it was still early in the spring, there were lots of bulbs in bloom.

 

 

 

So now It's Summer,  and its back to work,

 starting with a waterfall into a swimming pool.
