About SheriLL123
Hi, I live in SW FL. I was born and raised here but have lived in Texas, Arizona, California, Kentucky, & Tenn. Hubby & I have been together about 20 years =). We have 2 girls 11&16. I didn't discover my green thumb till I was living in KY. It didn't take long to become a gardening junkie. I think I just like to play in the mud(grin). In Ky I grew mainly Vegetables. I had a garden larger than my current yard. After we moved back down here it was all about the butterflies!! I had a neighbor who got me addicted to butterfly gardening. I still daydream about going back to my old house and digging up all my butterfly plants to bring to this house. (sigh) We were in this house about a year when a darn hurricane came by and blew everything away. Now the house is rebuilt and much of the landscaping I did the 1st year is back in. It's time to garden for fun. When I not playing in the dirt I am on or in the water. I love to sail, snorkle, kayak, or anything else that gets one wet. I have also been known to pull an all-nighter with my telescope.
