Hi!

I found this delightful website Summer 2006.  I really enjoyed posting and receiving comments from "the gang."  I got tips that I fully intend to use this coming season.

I'm still living in a condo, so as you can imagine, my planting is somewhat limited - that doesn't stop my interest in what other gardeners are doing.  Never met a gardener I didn't like.

I had a beautiful flower garden when I had my house.  Many happy hours making everything perfect.  It breaks my heart that I never thought to take photos of it before I moved.  I've only got a couple of fuzzy shots of my back patio.  You can view them on my photos.

We will be moving to a larger condo Summer 2008.  Can't wait!  It's framed now and the roof is on ... several most frustrating delays already - but at least they've started on it. It was supposed to be ready in November  2007 - but now it's looking like next Summer ... or ... heaven forbid, next Fall!   I'll have a 15' x 25' north-facing patio in the new place.  I'll really have to come up with lots of shade-loving plants to dress up my view.  I'm looking forward to getting lots of tips and suggestions from the forum.

I love taking pictures and more than that, I love sharing them with friends.  Actually, I probably drive most everyone nuts with my photographs.  Over the years I've tinkered with several different hobbies.  I'd be delighted if you'd view the photos I've put on the PHOTOS section on GG.  I'd also enjoy hearing from you and doing a wander through your garden.

If you are interested in how I see the world through my bifocals - click on the word website and you can peek into my world.

First peek!
Today was a red letter day for me.  Husband and I went over to check out the progress (or lack of) of our new condo.  As you've no doubt heard, I'm getting pretty discouraged and downright negative about the whole moving idea.  Well, let me tell ...

Sometimes I'm not too smart.
So, I've taken up walking . . . serious walking . . . really fast walking!  I'm doing about four miles every other day.  So far so good.  I'm gonna get rid of some of this weight . . . I hope. While on my seriously fast walk the other day I spotte...

Sigh ...
Hello. I just wanted to pop by and tell you how green with envy I am to hear all of you talking about your plants bursting through the warm soil.  The only thing bursting around here is my belly!  I have GOT to go on a diet.  We are continuing on ...

Grumble, grumble grumble.
Got the "official" letter from our builder today.  Because of the delays as a result of  bad weather conditions and/or lack of available skilled tradespeople, occupation of our new place is delayed until late Summer 2008 blah, blah, blah, blah. ...

Touching base.
Hi there! Thought it was about time I popped by and said "hello!"  Wish I had some fascinating garden news to share, but, alas, there's nothing outside my window but grey, grey, grey!  Logic tells me there is still a sun residing up there above th...
