It's so easy to get "lost" and entrenched, jaded; others' passion reminds me of the heart. The essence minus the noise. So, thank you for that :).

I also struggle with how much bad news I should confront myself daily and the garden and even my blog truly has become a refuge now more than ever. <br />I haven't heard about Dumbarton Oaks and I am curious to check it out. The staircase and its landscaping is truly spectacular and you took a wonderful photo of it. <br />Hope you can get into your own garden soon again and get your hands dirty!<br />Warm regards, <br />Christina<br />organicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012891747188380656.post-57833474503935055972017-02-06T05:06:37.372-08:002017-02-06T05:06:37.372-08:00I received your complete comments - I don't kn...I received your complete comments - I don't know why Blogger cannot display all of them. Anyway, that is thrilling that you studied this in landscape design school. I am very envious - I think if I had discovered gardening earlier, I would have pursued that profession.

I can see why you like this part of the garden so much. SO many layers to the design and the composition and the views. I am with you on the mental health need to pull away from the doom and gloom, and that gardens are a gift of refuge. I second the opinion that "Garden Share Sunday" meme is a great idea! If you start it, I'll be your biggest Sunday fan!

I'm sure spring will be here before you know it. And the snow is supposed to be great for plants (both for protection from winter cold and nice slow irrigation as it melts).Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07402416428574401646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012891747188380656.post-17650935404190600372017-02-05T07:46:19.125-08:002017-02-05T07:46:19.125-08:00Your spectacular image is a fabulous way to begin/...Your spectacular image is a fabulous way to begin/end the week. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.com
