About me: Gardening is one of life's simple pleasures for me. I love my garden's... around my house, around my business and now in my house with houseplants. I am a bit addicted to gardening but I think it is a healthy addiction. This fall(2004)my youngest child went off to college. So now my houseplants can really fill up my life-I have little baby's again only now I can compost them when they get sick, or hard to take care of or if I just decide I don't like them. I have one son, 2 daughters, a great husband, and a cat who cries alot. I am a nurse who started an assisted living facility in 1989. I am sorry to say that I am a bit of a blabbermouth so just ignor me when I get too chatty for your taste.
