Growth

"Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning." - Benjamin Franklin. I've spent most of the summer planning and planting to improve our landscape. A garden takes work, patience, and faith, and not everything turns out as planned, but the growth and change are exciting and motivating. So too, every once and a while, I feel the urge to change the layout (and the focus) of this blog to keep things fresh. What do you think?
