Second Anniversary

Dear Friends,
Two years ago today I began "Q's Corner".



I had a new camera.
I made a commitment to myself to learn photography.
I am still learning.



Q's Corner became my online house.
I opened my garden gate and my front door.
I shared my love of plants and birds and bugs.
I shared my heart.
You came and shared your kindness.
We have laughed and cried together.
We have become friends.



This morning I went to my cutting garden.
I wanted an Anniversary bouquet
of Lilly of the Valley for my desk.
A little nosegay to share with you.
A little "thank you" for your friendship.

It is here at my desk I know you.
I come during the day and read your comments. I am so grateful you care enough to say, "Hello." It is in comments that I feel as if we are talking. It is in comments that I feel connected. Thank you for each word, for each time you stop in and say, "Hello".
I come to your journals, your open doors, to your hearts and am awed by your talent.

I learn from you.
I am inspired by you.

Thank you.
May we have many years together.

Namaste,
Sherry

Congratualations Sherry, running a blog is not the easiest thing to do. I've been doing this for couple years with different blog platforms.

Wow; talk about inspiration! Lilly of the valley reminds me of my beloved grandmother, passed ten years now. The one person I felt most closness to;; other than my kids. I'd think of ringing her up; the phone would chime in; I'd call her, she'd comment cheerfully about just reaching for the phone to check on me! Amazing! I hadn't though of that in a while. Thanks so much. Congratulations on your second year! I so enjoy seeing life through your eyes and heart! My humble gratitude. ;) Vikki

Dear Jayne,

I talked with the Orioles and I do think they have sent a message for a few late arrivals to stop at your backyard for a quick, "Hello".
I am so honored to have met you and your blue birds!

Dear Barbara,
It is a joy knowing people from all over the world. I come to your journal and see the world through your eyes. I see your country and your birds, bugs and blooms. When I look up at the moon I know she shines down on all of us, just at different times!
Skywatch Fridays with you are so fun.
Thank you for your kindness.
