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.

I have forgotten one of our favorite summer sandwiches so far, but we will have it for supper. Lettuce and I do not agree and so BLTs were not so much fun for me. Then I found this recipe and really like it.
For one Sandwich:
Fry two slices of bacon
2 slices of your favorite bread ( I like my homemade whole wheat)
Slices of fresh tomato to fit bread.
fresh leaves of sweet basil ( It is good with other kinds of basil also)
Tablespoon of mayonnaise
Parmesan cheese
Fresh ground pepper if you like it.
Place the bacon on one slice of bread. put mayonnaise on other slice of bread and sprinkle on parmesan cheese. Top with a little pepper. Add tomato slices and top with basil leaves. Serve with plenty of paper napkins.
