Jean, I enjoyed this post and I must agree, the bloggers' get-together in Chicago was a highlight of my year. I'm very much looking forward to renewing friendships made there in Buffalo and in meeting even more garden bloggers! I hope you and I get a chance to hit a nursery or two before then ... let me know when you're coming to Houston!

I would say you've had a very successful year, Jean! I, too, am so glad I attended Spring Fling, not only for the opportunities to see so many wonderful gardens, but also for the chance to meet new blogging friends like you. I signed up for our local Master Gardeners' class which begins in a few weeks. I am wondering how I will find time for all the required volunteer hours and still keep up with my own garden, but I'm looking forward to learning so much more about gardening.

Somehow I missed this post; glad I came back and found it! Good luck with your ventures--I look forward to reading your magazine article!

What a wonderful post! I found myself nodding my head agreeing with almost everything you said! I myself have been bitten by the photography bug, and have purchased a new camera to help with that addiction (only problem is that it isn't in yet!). I also never anticipated making friends with other bloggers (not that I was against it). I have made so many wonderful frienship with other bloggers. If you don't know something...I can gaurantee you that one of them will!

The bluebonnet is sublime. It sounds as though you are finding a comfortable yet challenging niche in LA. I remembered with fondness your visit and hope that it will not be the last one. The poppy picture was also a great reminder of our terrific time at Spring Fling. Buffalo 2010? I hope so. Can't wait to read your article.

Jean — Taken all together it sounds like a good year with more good things in store! You are so right about reading blogs after Chicago Spring Fling — you can picture everyone and even hear their voices!

I wish you all the best for your goals in 2010, and you should be very proud of this past year's accomplishments! I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to get to know each other at Spring Fling! It was a very busy weekend and I hope this year we can have a chance to talk in person.

Hi Jean, you have had an outstanding year! Congrats on all the writing gigs past to come in the future. You definitely have a way with words, and plants! It was fun meeting you in Chicago, I wish we had spent a little more time together, that always happens at these events. Next time you are coming through my part of TN, do stop by, I promise not to be sick next time. I hope! :-)

Although the expression is a bit cliche, gardening in general, and becoming a master gardener volunteer in specific, really did help me grow as a person. My journey is similar to yours--I've had clients, I've done garden writing, and I speak. I never ever would have gotten into public speaking if it weren't for gardening. And I've met so many nice folks through blogging, which I also would never do if it weren't for my love of gardening. Happy new year!

Congratulations on a very successful year Jean! I ...

Congratulations on a very successful year Jean! I enjoy your writing very much and your photos are lovely! May the coming year bring you more adventures, lectures, garden writing assignments, juicy tomatoes and honors! Happy 2010! Carol

Jean, I think you have had a great year of learning new things, and trying to follow your passions. I know that you will continue to do well, so don't give up on those that are progressing slowly! Think of your coaching business sort of like perennials - sleep, creep, leap. I am glad I "met" you this year, and look forward to reading many more great posts. Kathy
