Hello Everyone,
My name is Sharon and I live in East Texas. My husband and I have a small house on 2 acres in the country, not really big enough to call a farm, but just perfect for us. We have 3 boys ages 26,25 and 19 (he Just moved out, we're finally alone....lets party!) I thought I would be so sad when he left,but I've really enjoyed myself, besides he's only 12 miles down the road.
Anyway, my husband is a musician and a landscaper and I am a nurse,certified aromatherapist, and herbalist. I also make a line of bath and body, and housecleaning products I sell to local businesses. We have a few small vegetable beds, but extensive herb and flower beds. We also have a few "themed gardens" we have a hugh celtic garden complete with castle and life sized knights with red roses and geraniums highlighting it, we have a moon garden, or after 6 garden where all the chairs are white, and the flowers are white and silver(dusty miller)at the moment we are working on a hummingbird-butterflygarden incased inside a 3-sided pickett fence. Never in million years did i ever think I would live in the country, and love it(city born and bred) but I can't think of a better place to live.
I look forward to learning and sharing information with everyone, this is a great website, thanks for letting me be a part of it.

Hi Heather...
Hey I like that shirt! I want one of those for my DH! He's a "straight shooter", that's for sure...lol We live about 35 mi from Tyler. I've alway loved that area. When my children were small, we used to take them camping at a lake over there. I can't remember the name of it now...but it was wonderful. The kids still have great memories of those times. Kate~

That is so funny. DH has a shirt from Gun Barrel City that says "We shoot straight". How close are you all to Tyler? That is where DH is from?
Welcome Sharon...
Cheers,

Thank you for all the wonderful welcomes. I will post pictures soon.My husband is working on a picnic table in the round for the celtic garden, its taking him some time because he is also recovering from a stroke he had last month, but as soon as its finished and my moonflowers bloom, I will have pics up. Thanks again for making me feel welcome.

Hi, there, Sharon! I'm so glad that you found us here - and I, too, would just LOVE to see your gardens - they sound so lovely. I've often wanted a moon garden - one that has night-bloomers and white/light-colored flowers and leaves... I'll bet that it's amazing. Welcome to the 'Connection - Enjoy!!!
XOXO, Libbie

 Hi from Spokane!! THis is my first entry in this forum! I'm so happy to be here. I used to live in San Antonio, I sort of miss it. Homes cost less, there's more to do now than when I lived there and all my family and some friends are there. I'm in Spokane now because I work for the military. While I don't have a home of my own, my balcony was (and will be again) an aromatic display of herbs and things I can grow in pots. When I'm not gardening, I'm into needlework, cooking and dreaming of the days when I'll have a space of my own to do these things freely..... |

Hi Sharon,
Sounds like we're neighbors! (almost) My parents lived in Gun Barrel City for 20 years... I still have friends in Mabank.
Your gardens sound lovely. Do you have moonflower vines in your moon garden? I tried to grow them once, but no success.
I know you'll love this site. I've gotten so much information already...and haven't read half the stuff on here. lol
Hope to see you around... Kate~
