A woman’s perspective on everything
I love being outdoors more to the point I like to spend a lot of time in the garden. Admittedly my garden is a small container garden, but it’s my little paradise to unwind.
With coffee in one hand I like to sit and soak up the atmosphere and watch the insects buzz by as they pollinate my flowers, and of course it is always a pleasure to see new seedlings popping up.
One of my passions is to try and grow an almost free garden from plant cuttings and seeds I collect. When I can’t find a specific plant or a kind soul to exchange seeds or cuttings with, I head straight for the garden centre with my man.
Hey a women needs a bit of muscle around to push the shopping cart, lift heavy bags of potting mix, and of course load it in and out of the car. Oh yes, and remember to get him to pay, so I can return home with purse intact. LOL!
So when I am not in my garden or collecting plant life I like to take photographs of flowers. Yep, any flower from weeds to trees, it doesn’t matter. I am even going to put together a bunch of Desktop Backgrounds that you my friends can download and use on your own computer. As far as I know these will be compatible with Windows and Mac but let me know if you have any problems.
My garden is my sanctuary it's the place where I like sit and watch the world go by with a cup of coffee. I am a passionate gardener and I love to cook using what I have grown. Admittedly my garden is small, but I have a plan, a plan to grow a huge kitchen garden and become mostly self sufficient. My garden works on the basis of companion planting and I use organic sprays when needed. I prefer to eat home grown produce as it's full of flavour, saves me money and is chemical free. I like to find ways to save money, recycle and reuse things where ever possible. I am not a pack rat honestly just resourceful! Taking photographs is another pleasure of mine I love photographing flowers any flower from weeds to trees. Yes I'm opinionated, I love to shop and appreciate beautiful things, I'm a women. Lastly I love to laugh, laughing is good for the soul, it's the best medicine on earth and it's free. See I told you I am resourceful.

That part about getting your man to pay was totally genius! It must be a great feeling to have a cup of coffee in your garden.
