In this episode, I'm talking with YOU...or am I talking to myself? Yup - it's just me this time celebrating the mid-way point through this first season of "Hops & Hedges". 

It has been a ride! I am so grateful to all the people who have reached out in support or who have come on the show to share their experiences, lessons and stories.

I am a Landscape Designer at My Landscape Artist in London, Ontario.

This episode is short and sweet (like me). My husband and I are currently in Florida settling the estate of his mother who has recently passed away. It has been a rough week and I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to record and post this episode at the moment. This is more of an emotional episode than what you might be used to on this podcast - but its the real me - and I still manage to talk a bit about beer.
