at an almost spiritual level for me. I love to garden both vegetables and ornamental stuff.
I've made a pretty well landscaped yard, and sitting out on the porch on a hot California evening, after everyone has had their evening drink, is extremely satisfying.

I took a 14-day road trip through Virginia and the Carolina's two years ago (with a quick detour to Savannah). The South is beautiful to my eye, so lush and green.
