I am back from my super visit to Portland, Oregon. I got to travel with a gardening friend named Wanda , and we saw the Japanese Garden, The Rose Test Garden, The Classic Chinese Garden, Ladd's Addition, and Peninsula Garden. What a sight!! But the highlight of the trip was traveling with two friends I met on DG, Anastasia (Mary) and Lenjo (Joann). We got to visit Joann's beautiful farm in Mt. Angel, Oregon and see all her beautiful dahlias in bloom. There could not be anything more beautiful!! What a wonderful thing it is to meet fellow gardeners on DG and then get to go across the country and meet them. I am sharing a picture of the four of us in front on Joann's house. We talked gardening non-stop, and it doesn't get any better than that! I wish all of you could see the Northwest and go to visit Lenjo. It would be a highlight of your life. We're on Joann's front porch. That's me (Linda), Mary, Joann, and Wanda in back.
