Garden Angel
For well over 10 years I’ve lived here in my little blue and teal cottage, which I now call Pie Cottage—part-time that is. During some of those years, except for an occasional check-in, I was away for months at a time having some incredible adventures.
Pie CottageOf course, the beautiful garden that I helped to create when I first moved here in 1999 languished during periods of away-time and I want it to look my best for Pie Camp and for me, too. Gardens offer so much benefit to us. Yes?
So feeling overwhelmed I asked for help! Some of you who follow me on Twitter and Facebook may have even seen it.
“I ask the goddess: Please send someone to help me in my cottage garden. With gratitude”
Well, a few folks from as far away as Maine offered to be there in an instant if the distance weren’t so far. Just the thought of folks thinking about coming to help was bolstering for me.
When my “LTLF”* Kathi called to tell me that she had a garden fairy that she would share, I was just about jumping up and down. More than that, her garden fairy’s name is Angel! And, that she is.
(Not sure if “long-term lifer friend”* is an official term, so if there’s another one that gets that point across, please feel free to share that information with me. OK?)
Angel arrived in my garden a week ago and thanks to her persistence and dedication, the little gardens at Pie Cottage are really starting to look great. I am blessed to have friends like Kathi and a garden fairy like Angel!
Life is wonderful, my friends.
Be Happy, Make Pie!
I live in Kansas City and would be very excited for you to come here and do a pie class. Yay!
Sarah- I would love to. Are you in Missouri or Kansas?
Missouri. We usually have good quality apples here in the fall but maybe not this summer. The drought is taking a toll on the fruit trees.
I’ve been meaning to get to Kansas City, MO again for a workshop or demonstration. Are you near there?
I live north of the river in KC MO, about ten miles south of the airport.
Great! Let’s think about an Art of the Pie Workshop in KC, MO…maybe in the Winter or Spring.
Great! I’ll be looking forward to it.
