How beautiful Frances, thank you for that burst of colour, the promise of things to come! Happy New Year.

Hi Janet, thanks. Calenders are fun to put together, but choosing which shots to represent each month can be difficult! May 2011 be wonderful for you and yours.

Though I have never been a huge fan of this holiday, I for one will be glad to see 2010 behind us, but I am afraid it has left some unfinished business yet to be sorted out. Thank you for the new year’s wishes and for the lovely pictures. Did you make this into a paper calender?

Hi Les, thanks for visiting. I like the closure of ending one year to begin a new one, so full of promise! These shots were printed up into paper calenders and given as gifts to my family. I enjoy putting them together and they are well received. I like turning the page on a new month and seeing whatever photo I have chosen to represent it through the year. May your 2011 be wonderful.

Gorgeous Frances. It makes one want to jump a year ahead to see what is in store for the next calendar.

Hi Layanee, thanks, you are funny! I like to think about the photos at the end of each month with the calender in mind. That makes the task less daunting when I get it printed in November to give to the family for Thanksgiving.

Frances these are incredible…you should consider creating a calendar…I would buy it….have a great 2011!!

Thanks Donna, you are too sweet. These are the photos used for the actual calender I had made for the family, the second year of such a thing. They are well received.

Ahhh, lovely! I think April is my favorite (which is funny, because April is my favorite month of the year).

Thanks MMD. That is a good one, they all are my faves among thousands of shots, but October might be my fave. April is my favorite month of the year too.

May your garden thrive in the new year coming! (I must get some of those little pink and white tulips). Happy New Year.

Hi Laurrie, thanks so much. Those are Lady Jane tulips, just the sweetest things and good at returning too. May you have a great 2011!

Beautiful reminders of what we have to look forward to! It is pouring rain here today, washing aways all the snow revealing very green grass. If only this meant winter was over.

Eileen

Thanks Eileen. Green grass is good, if surprising. If only is right! Happy New Year!

Frances this was a lovely presentation. I am glad you made these into a real calendar. I have made calendars too with illustrations. But they were for nieces and nephews. It was from the movie Shrek. Too bad they did not hire me as an artist…. .

Great work as always Frances. Thanks for a great morning lift.

Thanks Donna. Your family is lucky to have calenders drawn by your own hand! I appreciate your kind words and support. Happy 2011!~

What a lovely reminder that color is in the world… today we are a frozen tundra… beautiful, but the only brilliant colors are my grandkids parkas.

Thanks Meredehuit. Color will return for us all, but grandkid parkas sounds like a delightful way to get some right now. Happy 2011~

Really lovely choices for your calender. My favourite is June just because of the colours I think. Happy New Year. V

Thanks Valerie. Making the selections for these calenders is so fun, that is one of my faves too. Happy 2011~

Love your calendar. What are the purple flowers in October and November? September looks like a Joe Pye weed flower.
Thanks for the beautiful color during these weary months.
No snow, but we are freezing even down here in Florida. My oranges have frozen on the tree.
Val

Hi Valerie, thanks. October is Verbena bonariensis, November is the Aster Jin Dai. Septemeber is Joe Pye. I hope you losses were not too severe. We had some very cold weather in Tennessee as well, although it was warmed up now.

Neat idea, Frances. I still like using a paper calendar instead of the ones you have online like Outlook. I like writing all the plants blooming and what the weather is. This would make a neat project for us gardeners to make for Christmas or New Years presents.

Maybe next year…this year we created a family cookbook. Happy new Year!
Sue

Hi Sue, thanks. I still like the paper ones too, the tactile senses need it. Plus, it makes such a fun gift for the family. A cookbook…how neat! Happy 2011!

What a great idea. It would be wonderful to put together a calendar to celebrate the garden and garden activities through the year. You have inspired me.

Thanks Pat and happy 2011! I still need to work on making the calender more useful, identifying the images, etc. But it is always well received. Do it!

Happy New Year Frances. The home grown calendars for family is such a great useful gift idea. I should do it. What service did you use. Then I’d have to overcome my internet/computer sloth.

Thanks Christopher, happy 2011 to you! I hate to give them free advertising, and they weren’t cheap, but I used Shutterfly. I still need to tweak the image on there better. I always hurry it and haven’t yet learned the best way to size them. There should be a caption but I haven’t figured it out yet. Good luck and you are hardly a sloth!

Just beautiful, Frances. What a delight it was to meet you in 2010 and to discover you’re just as lovely in person as you are in blog life. Cheers to another fine year in the garden.

Thanks Helen, what a sweet thing to say! It was a delight to meet you and Sarah in Buffalo as well. Two beauties!

I definitely meant the rest of 2011, not eastern standard time, electro shock treatment, expressed sequence tag, or the unusual branch of psychology. It’s amazing what a small mistake can lead to!

HA Carolyn! I usually will correct typographical errors, but your reply to them is too good to delete! Happy 2011 to you and yours!

My goodness Frances, I hope you’ve put those photos into a real calendar – they’re gorgeous! Hope you have a fantastic 2011 as well!

Thanks Jean. Yes, these make up the real calender that was given to my family, the second year to do so. Having photos from my garden makes these so personal. They were well received.
