Hey all,

Sometimes my dog and gardening are the only things that rescue me from the despair of this fun disease.

Here are some pics of lillies, sunflowers, oregano patch in bloom and Barkley.

The flowers are gorgeous! And I love the woodsy path --- is it your yard?

Hi Donna,

That woodsy path is a nearby park/woods I take my dog hiking every morning before starting work.

You know IC has changed my thinking, I have always day dreamed of owning a small sort of wild farm part woods part field. I would love to find property in Virginia or West Virginia. It would be nice to have a 20-60 acre place with potential for growing high value specialty crops.

Beautiful flowers. I can't grow anything - I do have sunflowers (wild) and blue bonnets (the Texas State flower) in my yard every year.

We live on six acres, but we do have lots of trees. I like it because we have total privacy in our yard from trees and shrubs all around. I really love living in the country and we are only about 45 minutes away from most things.
