Which we raise and show
I was a Air force brat,by the 4th grade I had been in 14 different schools and after my father got out we ended up near Syracuse NY
When I married my first husband who I had been in love with since I was 14,(which goes to show you should date LOTS of people when you are young),we moved to Rock Springs Wyoming for a few years,where my daughter was born ,then he transfered back to NY and was working in White Plains,we lived in Fishkill and Shrub Oak where my son was born
My son who is my youngest at 23 is out of the army now and looking for ....I don't know WHAT he's looking for
We moved back to the Syracuse area and ended the marriage
We had bought a house on Oneida Lake and I ended up getting it in the divorce.With 4 acres on the lake it left me lots of room for my gardening and the gardens got bigger.Then I fell in love with the tropicals, Brugmansia included
Well I had to get a job and started at UPS
I now drive tractor trailer for them(yes I drive doubles) and spend my days cursing people in cars...LOL
I works lots of weird hours and 13 hours a day most of the time so thats why you'll see me in here and then I'm gone for a few days,which means I'm just busy
between work and all the animals I don't have a lot of time and plants are something I fit in.
I now have a GH because the tropicals were taking all the space in the house ,and yes ,it costs a lot to heat it but I love it!!!!
I want a bigger one now

some of you have never seen my chickens
