Anyway seeing these pictures inspires me to come back tomorrow full of energy and eager to look for more monster plants .... and weeds. See you then my weed pulling cohort. <em>Lilah, You have a gift - a monster seeking prowess. I value it highly (and of course am ever so slightly envious)! -kris</em> You are just jealous……No but seriously, this entry looks really wonderful because it shows off all of our beautiful monsters (myself included).

It is so honest and funny and readable. How do you do it? Do you struggle? It seems effortless which means it is absolutely not. <em>Ginny - Thank you - that means so much to me! And you're right: sometimes I do struggle a bit especially when my head takes the nap my body craves! But something about this place gets the words flowing... I know your garden gets your creative juices flowing too! -kris</em> I love your writing. It is so honest and funny and readable. How do you do it? Do you struggle?
