The loves of my life. . . gardening, water gardening, gardening, water gardening and more G A R D E N I N G!

I'll be posting pictures of my garden house, flower beds and some of my flowers.

I've prepared a slideshow of the progress of digging a "heart-shaped" water garden. It took Larry, my husband, nearly 1 1/2 years to complete it AND it was worth the wait. I love to watch our 23 goldfish glide through the water. The sound of the waterfall is mesmerizing. I love it!

Read about my encounter with a mysterious fish in a true story called, "Eeek! There's a Monster in Our Water Garden."

I am a lover of hearts; any kind will do. I've collected them for many years. I am also a collector of Fostoria Opalescent glassware. You're likely to find me "sitting on the dock of eBay" in the early evenings.

My Fostoria Collection is a feature. Although it is a "work in progress," you will want to visit this page, read a little about Fostoria, bookmark the page and return soon.

Be sure to visit "Sandy's Book Store." In my very special book store, each book is carefully screened for the kind of content that can contribute significantly to your water gardening, and gardening.

I think you will like my "cat story" and laugh yourself silly reading "How to Give Your Cat a Bath" and "Instructions For Giving Your Cat a Pill."
