To celebrate my second year of blogging, I'd like to tell you why YOUR garden blog is important to me. As much as I love garden books and magazines, they still don't fill that special niche we call garden blogs.
Garden Blogs are living, growing, and ever changing. They take us through seasons, through ups and downs, through the thrills of victory (like remaking your entire garden landscape)...
and through the agony of defeat (like when one's entire garden is destroyed by a hurricane). But especially important is the fact that every garden blog has behind it a gardener; a person filled with ideas, of hopes, of visions and filled with endless dreams.

They want simply a closer walk with natural beauty. But most admirable is the fact that these gardeners (that would be YOU!) are filled with a desire to share their dreams with others.
Garden blogging is not easy. It takes a lot of time, a lot of creativity, and a lot of research. At times it takes some fancy camera work (in some very awkward positions) and it demands a writer's sensibility.
Yet, you all do it. And you do it year after year. I like that. I like that a lot. Thanks to all who create and design these beautiful works of art we call Garden Blogs.

| A beautiful new species of butterfly stops by today! Hope that lizard doesn't see it. |
So thanks to all who stop by and enjoy this little garden called Tropical Texana. I promise you won't get eaten by a lizard!
