Work in Progress (WIP)

I’m not only a gardener and musician (not necessarily in that order), but I’m also a knitter. I’m fairly new to the craft, unless you count the time a few decades ago when I knitted a sweater for Dave and a couple of other things. I’m new to the obsession of knitting, let’s say. I got the bug before the Christmas of 2013, just in time to knit most people on my list an infinity scarf or a hat, etc. It hasn’t really stopped since. I find it relaxing and very satisfying. I joined Ravelry and there I found out what a WIP and an FO (finished object) are, amongst other helpful things. The nice thing about knitting is that you can turn your WIP into an FO and have the satisfaction of a job well done. Give it away or put it on and that’s the end of it.

Not so if you’re a gardener or website operator. As one little sign in my garden says, “My garden is a thing of beauty and a job forever”. As for this site, I’m not under any illusion about it. There will always be something to do to improve it and keep it up to date. Whether I’ll always want to do it is another story. I may leave it one day, never to return. What happens to sites that are abandoned like that, I wonder? Do they get cobwebs and dust? Do they open creakily when someone stumbles upon them by accident? Do the flowers fade? No, more prosaically, the website host probably just shuts them down for non-payment of fees.

You may have noticed that I’ve been working on my photos. Now, when you click on the menu headings, “Gardens I Have Visited” and “Tranquil Garden Photos”, you’ll find a list of galleries inside that you can view. I’m still toying with the technology to find the best way to display the photos, but in the meantime, I hope you enjoy them! Here’s my gallery of B.C. pictures, just to show you one of the options I’ve discovered. Click on a picture to view it.
