I love to garden, because.... it is good mental and physical therapy. I love to see plants grow and thrive. I like to share the beauty with others as we are on a highway and people can enjoy them from the road. It is also a challenge. I like to design my gardens. Also I like to put surprises in the gardens like a dancing girl in the pansies.

Biggest Gardening Challenge Energy, physical ability and time.

If I'm not gardening, I can be found: reading,working on genealogy and family stories,

Other Hobbies baking and collecting recipes, rearranging the house.

Thanks for the comment Dot. It is rare that we get that amount of snow here. We had 21 inches, and it is still here! We did have a white and wonderful Christmas. And we finally got my step-daughter moved from her college apartment to her new apartment in West Virginia.

Thanks Dot. I hope you folks can have a nice celebration together when the weather permits. It got windy with some of the snow that had already fallen blowing over onto the roads again here. Got a little nasty to be out later in the day. Be well and stay warm!

My digital camera is a Fuji FinePix, which is an "old" model dating waaaay back to 2004! It takes crisp photos and short, 30 sec, video clips, and at the time only cost a hair less than $200.

It serves my needs and although I've drooled over new cameras, I've really no need to abandon this one until I drop it or leave in out in the rain.

Thank you Dot. I truly enjoy garden design and rolling up my sleeves and seeing the project take shape. And even though I no longer do this kind of work professionally I still love helping others with their gardens.
