For this year's "The Roaring Twenties" theme, we celebrated the partial return to "normalcy" (if that even exists) and all the good things of life. COVID is still a reality, but the consequences aren't as dire as they were in early days, when we were figuring out how to survive a pandemic (with lots of opposing opinions). It was a pleasure to expand my horizons, range, and scope this year. I've traveled more, visited more gardens, and enjoyed the company of more people. I've also appreciated the simple pleasures of observing nature, dyeing with plants, and learning more about our beautiful world. Definitely cause for celebration in this century's "Roaring Twenties".
