About Me:
I love flowers. Bright happy colors are my faves. I have roses of all types. Day lilies, tiger lilies, iris, clematis and so much more that have taken over my acre and half yard. Coming home from work in the summer is such a joy. I work in the flowers until dark thirty drives me in the house. I love to eat good food in turn I like to cook. Sea food/cajun are my favorite foods. I have a pony and cart that I dont have time to drive. I also have a Quarter horse mare with a new foal, 1 Border Collie, 1 dropped off mutt named Dump and a West Highland Terrier and 10 chickens. Last but most important, I am a Christian.
Favorite area of home improvement:
Decorating my patio for summer is my current project underway. I use large pots with wave petunias for flowers and coleus for color and height. In Arkansas we are still dealing with the tassels shedding from the oak trees. What a challenge. I have already used 2 tanks of gas in the leaf blower.

Outdoor fun.
On a budget and being eco conscious, the 500sf flagstone patio I designed and had built was to help make up for the limited space in my home. It has both a living and dining area. The pathways and planting beds are constructed with all sustainable products and plants. I had gotten quotes but decided I could be my own contractor and hired the labor and worked along with them, saving thousands of dollars.
The metal furniture was all bought at yard sales ...»
