My 200th Post!!!

I've read so many of your blogs where you've reached your 200th post and I have to say, I am always sincerely happy for you. Each one of you has expressed gratitude to your readers, you are thankful for the friends you have made along the way, feeling a certain sense of accomplishment, all well archived. I have to say, I feel the exact same way. I could not have imagined how organically this blog would have unfolded and grown, the wonderful friends I have made, from Israel to Australia, from the Pacific Northwest, to Columbus and Canada. So, a hearty thank you to all of you who take the time to read and comment, and to my very dear friends who have made all this blogging business a very rich and rewarding ride!!

Speaking of unfolding and growing organically, THE VICTORY GARDEN has officially doubled in size. I now have 2, 6'x6' plots of land which my husband so lovingly carved out. The tomatoes were too close together, so I had to spread them out, and I planted purple, spicy lemon or miniature, and 'frilly' (the aroma is to die for) basil in garden #2. We have more than tripled the planting from last year and look forward to a great haul which we expect will take us straight into next summer. Again, a slice of heaven. It doesn't take much. I'm a really happy camper right now!
