It’s official. I am moving to Charlotte NC around the first of March. Here’s to a new adventure and much better climate for gardening. Charlotte has four seasons and is a beautiful city. Lots to do over the next two months to get ready. On a very sad note, Kohl passed away on September 21, 2013. He was my very best friend and I miss him dearly. He was 12 1/2 years old. I was there when Maggie gave birth to him in my kitchen. I held him as he took his first breath and I was holding him when he took his last. He had a wonderful life and I was so happy to be part of it. 
That’s all for now.

Congratulations on the move, Jacqueline, and the new gardening experiences to come! My father and his wife are relocating to Charlotte from the Raleigh/Durham area when they sell their house. Looks like a great place to be. I’m sorry about Kohl, but it sounds like he had a good life.

Thank you Pam. I am looking forward to this adventure and a whole new world to photograph. Just wish I could bring my Blood Orange and Lemon Meyer potted citrus trees… but I’ll be in a townhouse for the first year or two, and Charlotte is zone 7b/8a. They’re too large to bring indoors. On the other hand, a balcony or patio garden sounds lovely. They’ll be so many new plants to enjoy.
