Top of the Blog: BIG NATURALS left I spent the rest of the day soaking up every ounce of gardening advice I could from Ray. Time sped by in a blur as he showed me things about the property I'd never noticed before. I actually felt sad when the day ended, but it was time to go see Ellen so the feeling didn't last long. Standing back out of earshot while he gave her his honest appraisal of my work these past few months. It was amusing to know he could tell her I'd made a complete mess of the garden and she wouldn't have cared at all. When Ray left Ellen looked my way and I knew she wanted me to join her.
