How rewarding Bob! I think we never truly see our own creations the way other people do. I just don't think it is possible. I am glad that others were able to convey their appreciation of your hard work and abilities.
Sigh! I can't see a thing in Bobm's garden pics but small question marks. I was about to suggest that bobm was just putting us on with a fine story of 'winning' a place in the garden tour when I remembered I'm not much for posting pics either. Sigh and sigh again. Wish I could enjoy the photos of your garden bobm.
I'd like to congratulate you for your gardening achievement, but I am still in awe of your hospital experience. Sheesh!
