Since blogging comes as more of a good thought than a definitive action to me, I am adding the date so as to give anyone who has the misfortune to read this a point of reference.

Yesterday's date was the occasion of my very first Master Gardener class.  Six people, 5 women, 1 man, no spring chickens.  Not many people have the luxury of 13 consecutive Thursdays free for this kind of endeavor.  Next week, we'll be joining a class of 18 more people from the next county over. 

First class ~ orientation.  I feel like a more balanced individual already.  We were each gifted with a 3" thick manual and a first-day test to determine our knowledge now as opposed to what it will be in 13 weeks.  I expect to learn at least my $80 worth of information. 

I will edit to add thoughts as they occur to me because I don't want to be logged out against my will.  After class, my front porch became a plant stand.  Stopping off at one of the other gardener's close-by homes on the way out (and yes, it WAS the man ~ sue me) I walked away with 3 forsythias, a "golden-seal" tree (anyone know?), some Swedish ivy cuttings, and an angel trumpet.  This is a GOOD new friend.
