I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves, but I couldn’t have ordered up a more dynamic, exciting, fun-filled year than 2010! Many new friends, new business colleagues, great times with the people whom I love the most in this life, and good work. Thanks, 2010—and, 2011, you’ve been served!

Look what I found in the Youtube archives! This is a 2007 video from The Central Texas Gardener about the wonderful adopted gardens down on Ladybird Lake, which are created through a partnership between the community and The Trail Foundation.
