That's the life to be living!
ReplyDeleteGood luck Ketzel. Every time I've been laid off it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me.

Animals always seem to catch the mood just right, you know? At least they do for me. They let you know what's really important and when to just let it lay, so to speak...

I'm also a victim of the economy, found out the same day as you did!
ReplyDeleteCareers in the Horticulture, Gardening, Landscape field are really precious. We all have to stick together! I am going to buy myself a job.
When I open my Nursery and Garden School, I will surely call on you. (Hopefully soon!)
I've really enjoyed listening to you over the years on NPR.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that the poor economy has claimed one more. Needless to say I don't agree with their decision to let you go but hey, they didn't ask me. The old saying about not knowing what you have till it's gone comes to mind but I'm not certain NPR is all that enlightened. Your reporting and particular your focus on plants and gardening was positive and uplifting. They were and are a perfect counterpoint to the all too common stories of worldly woe. Fortunately for all of us who are your fans there is your website. I've bookmarked it and plan to visit often. Take care in all your new adventures, Ketzel. Looking forward to your reports from Turkey.

Ketzel, I have to thank you for the great fun we had with xeriscaping here in Tempe, Arizona as a result of your stories:

I've been meaning to tell you that the relationship with my neighbor has come full circle. A few weeks ago, I found him tending to the weeds that had grown on my side of the property boundary partly as a result of his watering.
This past weekend, I wrote a poem about it:

If anyone would appreciate hearing it, I thought you would.
Best of luck to you. May you have grand adventures!

Ketzel,
ReplyDeleteI was heartbroken to hear that you had been laid off. Your NPR stories have been a joy to listen to and gift to the day. I am wishing you all the best and hoping that this turns out to be a good thing for you. And, I hope one day in the not too distant future to hear your voice again when I turn on the radio. Thank you for your contributions to the garden world!
