On this occasion of the end of the year and my 700th post at May Dreams Gardens, I’d like to thank everyone for coming by and following along through another year in my central Indiana garden.
Thank you to those who have joined in for Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day, delighting us with your many blooms on the 15th of each month, making us a bit envious at times with flowers we can only dream of and providing us northern gardeners with a little color in the gray of winter.
Thank you to all who have joined in reading and posting reviews for the Garden Bloggers’ Book Club. I enjoy sharing what I’ve read with others and reading what others think of the same books. We all see something different in each book, which makes it that much more interesting.
Thank you to all who have left comments and kind words throughout the year, who have joined in to share about seed obsessions, tomato obsessions, plant obsessions and all our other shared gardening obsessions. Thank you especially for the Mouse & Trowel award for “Garden Blogger You’d Most Like As Your Neighbor”.
Who knows what the new year will bring, but I hope it brings to each of you peace, prosperity and fulfilled dreams both in the garden and out of the garden.
“This is May Dreams Gardens because all year I dream of the days in May when the sun is warm, the skies are blue, the grass is green, and the garden is all new again!”
Happy New Year to all!
Carol

Carol, Your blog is great and I want to thank you for encouraging me to stop lurking and join in on the fun. Not only is your and many other blogs fun but educational in a relaxed way. I have learned some and grown with my gardena and blog reading here.
It is also great to know there are gardening nuts, errr geeks or what ever you want to call us with our gardening obsessions.
Happy and healthy New Year.

Thank you, Carol, for sharing your wonderful garden with us. I enjoy your wit and humor about gardening and gardeners. As a stay-at-home homeschooling mom with five children, I so enjoy seeing others gardens as mine is so often neglected.
May all your gardening dreams come true in 2008!
