The Five-Year Blogaversary

A goldfinch munches on a seed from a coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) in the long border at Squirrelhaven.

Mr. McGregor's Daughter, the blog, turns five years old tomorrow. In honor of this blogging milestone (not as long as some, longer than others) and inspired by the "Top 5" lists in the John Cusack movie High Fidelity, I will finally do a series of Top 5 posts about a myriad of things, including Top 5 plants that attract wildlife, Top 5 shade perennials, Top 5 plants for drought, and (a really tough one) Top 5 gardens I've visited. I welcome any challenges to anything on my lists. In fact, I look forward to them as a way to find even better plants, gardens, etc.
In the meantime, I want to thank all those who have visited and/or commented over the years. I have been flattered, challenged and touched.

Congratulations on your blogaversary, MMD! I remember your blog as being one of my models when I first began blogging; thanks for being such an inspiration! Looking forward to your lists--top plants for drought certainly is a timely topic this year.

If you enjoyed the movie, read the book! Nick Hornby is one of my favourite authors.

I love your top 5 ideas, how about the top 5 posts which have meant the most to you?
