i must bragg

I must bragg! No, not about the garden, but about my mother. She spends the better half of the year taking care of my garden in Toronto and helping me take care of my kids, yet still, when she gets back to her own garden in Latvia she manages to have it look like a botanical paradise in no time. And it's not like all she does is gardening. At the moment she's managing a demanding interior design project for an agricultural building. Go figure!!!

Nice try. You cut those out of a gardening magazine and scanned them in? If not, pretty amazing, that mother of yours. We might bring her out to Victoria to do her magic with our new gardens. I'm sure she can handle another project.......

yeah, i agree with chris r... now i know where you get all your energy Beta!

one thing i have noticed is how certain people who have a lot of things to do - and who also are able to accomplish them very, very well - well, those people have gained the knowledge of how to apportion time incredibly effectively. I hesitiate to use the term "use time" because, those people don't "use" it, but rather learn how to work along with, and within, time's own unique rhythms.

it is something that i am (hopefully)learning to do better, and aspire to.

and i have learned quite a bit just by observing how you do things Beta - so -
Thanks!!
