I am a basic gardener though so maybe it is something out of the ordinary or something not grown in the South....hmmmm, I will have to investigate! Thanks for dropping by my blog and for your sweet words. I always feel as if all these "superwomen" bloggers are everywhere, so I was surprised when I read your comment! Now, I don't feel so bad about being "tired" at night!

It was many years ago when I lived in the city. I sat on a garden seat (wit four wheels and scooted along with my crutches beside me.
