When the student is ready, a teacher appears...

I am sure you have heard the Buddhist proverb, "When the student is ready, a teacher appears."  Well, today, I found a wonderful teacher, Kelly.  We really met a year ago as our youngest daughters were in the same kindergarten class but I never knew that Kelly was a professional landscape designer.  Imagine my surprise, as I am just chatting away at our daugthers' friend's birthday party about our upcoming move and how I needed help with the planter by the pool...Kelly told me this is what she does for a living! 

Well, I have been carrying around in my purse, several pictures of our planter that we are wanting to redo soon after our move (which is Monday BTW)...I have carried those pictures just in case we stopped by a nursery that was having a super clearance or some other seredipitous moment such as this one...Well, Kelly spent an hour with my DH and me after the birthday party drawing out a wonderful design sketch that gives us such inspiration!  Thank you SO much Kelly!

I have included a link to Kelly's landscape design website.  Also included are some of the BEFORE pictures of our planter...the AFTER will be something we can all look forward to!

Keep dreaming and enjoying the ride,
Kristen
