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 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~

 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, 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

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.

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...
