This is a first....

...my nails are actually clean, filed, spotless!
No really.
They are most of the time, with the exception of time spent in my garden.
Then all bets are off.

The "first" is a blog by yours truly.
2 of the things I enjoy in life: writing and gardening. I have always enjoyed writing and have become a gardening enthusiast since I purchased a house with a front and back garden.

I've decided to blog about my garden, my plants and flowers, my yearly battle with Japanese beetles, my growing collection of roses, my pots of peppers and various herbs, etc.
I may add some photographs of the above and of life in general. I also enjoy taking photographs so you will see some images of the most random subjects to the thought out, well lit and composed subjects.

This should be interesting.
Stay tuned.........
