Hello and welcome to my garden. Through these gates you’ll find all of the people who have made my garden grow for over 54 years. From my wonderful husband and 5 children to my extended family and friends, all are special. Then there are new buds, my son-in-laws (and 2 others who would like to be), granddaughter, age 8 and grandson, age 5 and newest grandson, age 3 born on Halloween and niece and nephews and great nieces and nephews. All play a distinct part in the nurturing of my garden. There are friends, old and new, young and not so young. Without them my garden would not be the same. There are also the animals. After all, this is a farm. There are dogs and cats, turtles and birds, cows, horses, chickens, turkeys, rabbits and pigs. And most important of all, there is God. He watches over all those who enter my garden and grants them blessings and peace. So, feel free to wander through my garden, smell the roses and pick a bouquet. Listen to the waterfall and feed the fish. Listen to the birds and watch the butterflies. Enjoy the hummingbirds as they flit back and forth competing with each other for the sweetest nectar. Relax and laugh and enjoy your visit. God puts us all on this earth for such a short time, so make your time as meaningful as possible. But don’t forget to stop and smell the flowers along the way. God Bless you, Annita A Lifetime of Bouquets
