I’m writing this from ...Season’s Greeting, Gloria.<br /><br />I’m writing this from the northern hemisphere where we’re just entering the cold winter season. Isn’t that strange but wonderful? Anyway, I love what you've done in your garden!<br /><br />Purple happens to be my favorite color and I always make it a point to incorporate as many blooms of purple into my outdoor and indoor gardens.<br /><br />As a matter of fact, I am at the moment reading “The Color Purple” by Alice Walker. Of course, I’ve seen the movie with Whoopi Goldberg many years ago but have never gotten around to reading the book until now. After all, gardening in the winter months is at a loll which gives me more time to partake in other activities such as reading.Hanna at Orchid Carehttp://orchidcare.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435730379910980357.post-32200836339211586062011-12-08T17:22:32.514-07:002011-12-08T17:22:32.514-07:00A beautiful carpet of blues under your arbor Glori...A beautiful carpet of blues under your arbor Gloria.

I ...Yes they are so very beautiful in your gardens. I remember that on my first travel abroad was to Australia and the spring flowers on the roadsides are small purple flowers, and the scene still lingers in my mind. It is also amazing that in Dec you have your spring while in others they are starting winter, in Australia it is start of summer, and here in the Philippines we are just having a small drop in temperature, which otherwise is a yearlong summer! Haha, happy gardening.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.com
