This is fabulous! Flowers, gardening and landscaping are my passion. It is my true therapy. At the risk of sounding kooky, I find it spiritual.
I have several gardens, containers and window boxes that keep me busy and provide an inner-peace that nothing else can touch.
I adore all of the flowers and shrubs that everyone has mentioned. My favorite flower is the gardenia. Living in the midwest, gardenias cannot be grown outside here. I have an indoor gardenia plant that blooms two or three times a year. The fragrance is beautiful. It's the most perfect flower.

I LOVE Gardenias too, and it is too cold here for them as well. But I will try growing one indoors, I didn't know I could.
My first coursage was a gardenia, and I have loved them ever since.

Hi Margo:
Come right on over, everyone else does! We sit down for dinner around 6 and by 6:05 we generally have about four new guests each night. We were in the restaurant business for 30 years retired in 1993 but you could fool me. My husband doesn't mind, he says cooking for six is the same as cooking for two. Everybody loves him, he's generous and kind - and well respected by everyone. He's always the first one to help someone.
Do you know he cooks for the family across the street every single night because the Mom and Dad don't get home until 7:00 pm and he thinks it's too late for the kids to eat! Talk about kind and unselfish.
Right now he's making bread or focaccia. This is an everyday project! Yuk! I hate to cook, good thing I don't have to. Haven't cooked in 32 years! Now that's the good life right?
Hugs, Devastated

Dev - your husband sounds likes an absolute darling - it's really touching that he brings you such happiness because you deserve to be with such a wonderful man. Thank you for sharing some of your life with us - that was a wonderful post!
BTW - the house across the street from us has a For Sale sign in the yard - I would love to have you two as neighbours! I'd be finding a reason to come on over around 6 o'clock every night!

Remember to wear your sunglasses because the sun gets hot!

Love the picture and may save it for an avatar!!! Thank you.
And Glenda...the sundial is perfect for you. It has never kept good time here (how can a sundian NOT keep time?) but maybe it is on California time LOL. Works for me.
