I was born near Nashville TN in the late 60's but grew up in Dickson Co. TN where I graduated from High School. I have many interests though as a mother of a six yr old daughter I only have a limited amount of free time that I can devote to them. I love Gardening(or at least trying to) so during the Spring, Summer & Fall I spend a bit of time working in my Herb & Flower gardens. This year I have planted mostly perennials. My standards are my roses, cannas and azaleas. I had a good deal of luck growing cosmos from seed last year so I saved a few seeds from last yrs bunch and was able to start some this year as well.

Flowers in my Garden: primrose, cosmos, hostas, roses, gardenia, black-eyed susan, thrift, dianthus, gladious, red hot poker, grape vine, hydrangea, hibiscus, crepe myrtles, sweet peas, chrysanthemums, coreopsis, daylily, iris, bergenia, sweet william, delphinium, lilac and peonies.

Herbs in my Garden: lavender, dwarf lavender, rosemary, oregano, lemon thyme, catnip, sage, mint apple, spearmint, peppermint, chives, lemon balm, marjoram.

I also enjoy reading, old musicals, eatting Skittles©, designing webpages and researching my family history. My Family history research probably falls more under the category of an obscession. I have been researching for about 13+ yrs now. It is something I thoroughly enjoy. Hope this has helped you learn about me and that you will find my webpage to be informative and useful.
