About LilyCrazy
Hmmmm about me....... It's so hard to tell your own story isn't it ?? Well, I am 45 yrs old, married, have 3 grown kids, one very precious grandson who is now 3, 2 dogs, 2 cats and a pond full of fish. Obviously, I LOVE gardening or I wouldn't be here !! I love growing flowers, hostas, lilies of all kinds, and watergardening. I occasionally grow veggies and used to have herb gardens that took up half my yard !! Too much work tho- I've condensed that into several containers.... My current projects in the yard are trying (yet again) to successfully grow lotus, and to restore the parts of my yard that had raised herb beds- they are weed patches interspersed with chives and garlic right now !! I also love cooking, boating, spending time with family, visiting wineries in the area and making new friends !! I love projects around the house- painting, redecorating, that sort of thing. Some crafts- a little scrapbooking, cardmaking, beading, some garden crafts- used to sew ALOT but I really don't have much time anymore.....cooking is a real passion for me and I love entertaining.
