Hi. I have always enjoyed writing. It has always been what I wanted to do, but life got in the way and it took me a while to get back to it. Mostly, I write about gardening, because it has been my lifelong passion, and my area of expertise. My garden is over several acres, and I am always adding something new. Most of my adult life I have done catering, with desserts being my specialty, so I also enjoy writing about food and cooking. I am very interested in the paranormal, and live in a haunted house!! My kids and I are avid animal lovers and have recently added a puppy and a kitten to our family. Animals, especially dogs, are among my favorite topics to write about. Thanks for checking out my profile!
