Abundant thanks to:

God (my Creator), His Son (my Redeemer), and the Holy Spirit (the Giver of Wisdom). I love you almost as much as you love me.

My Bear, the one I married decades ago and who forever and always has supported my dabbling. Without your encouragement and persistence, I would not have had the moxie to variegate my views.

All six of my children, often my inspiration and frequently on my mind. Even if my view was not yours, you uplifted me.

Mom, Dad, siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, cousins, aunts, uncles, neighbors, and friends. You may or may not know you were characters (visible and invisible) in my garden, too.

Mother Nature and any celebrity, author, animal, or food I referenced or photographed, particularly if you did not realize it. You gave me great material.

Pressbooks and the St. John’s County Public Library, WordPress, and Bluehost. You were tough to learn but I think I earned a passing grade.
