Adoring's Profile

 My beautiful friend Absmamma introduced me to this site (and a plethora of other fun filled experiences). For me, gardening is more than a hobby. It ignites something in me. This is my third year and I continue to fall in love more and more! Native plants and evergreens provide my backdrop with flowering perennials and a few annuals as the focal points. I am attempting tomatoes this year and I love herbs. I have many dreams and aspirations and I look forward to sharing them with you and becoming acquainted with yours! 

A bit more about me; I could play outside with my daughter all day! I love to sing to her, but only when I think no one else is listening! My husband delights in my gardening and in our family. He is the most amazing person I have ever met. Filled with wisdom, strength and character. I am inflamed with love for him. The morning sun warms my heart. I relish my morning coffee. I enjoy afternoon tea. I find peace in reading, especially about the Prince of Peace. Poetic writings intrigue me. I feel as though jazz is forever part of me. And the blues. I adore anything old fashioned as I tend to be that way! Cooking and baking (there is a difference) liven my home. Adore antiquing. I dream of Italy, Australia, Germany.  Most of all I enjoy the tranquility of an orderly home, candles lit, a soft cool breeze, my dazzling family and a nice cup of something heavenly.

Surprise!
As I was examining my newest edition (the shade garden) I was delighted to find new sweet potato ivy! I vaguely remember finding a bulb (err, potato?) from last year and promptly digging a hole and planting it. I presumed it would not come back as I ...
