Rosie, that is a great list of hobbies. I do wish I lived in NC. That is my favorite state. I lived there in the 50s with my Marine husband and they were the happiest days of my life. I was on Wrightsville Beach.
You mentioned needles for arthritic fingers...please tell me under what name are they found?
We have so many deer but they do not bother the plants we have. They are not too fond of Christmas Trees and of course our gardens are Iris and Daffodils and pussy willow, holly and that is about it. We have some roses but they are too close to the house and barn for them to venture in to eat them.
So glad you stopped by, hope you come back again and share some recipe's with us. Simple comfort food is what I need now. I am going to bake a chicken potpie today. It is clouding up and is snowing in parts of the state already. Oh well, thanks to Garden Org we have a place to hang out.
