Hi y'all!
I'm Marilyn living in the Bluegrass state of KY. I moved here when I met and married my wonderful husband, Dean during 1996. Before that, I lived in various cities in OH, being that I'm a native of OH.
Dean, between being an Air Force brat and in the Air Force himself has lived all over the US, as well as, three other countries. He's been flying, since 1977 and came to Northern KY in early Oct. 1986 for the now defunct Comair Airline
I came through DG (user name = Marilynbeth) in 2006, then Cubits and then to the wonderful ATP!
We don't have any children, but considered our two late bunnies (see avatar pic), our children. We got them in early Feb. 2002 and lost Cuddles (female) March 10, 2014 and Scout (male) April 15, 2015.
We've been feeding the birds everyday, since Dec. 2000 and we have feeders and scatter birdseed on the ground, which the wild rabbits, which they are welcomed to. Of course, the squirrels think it is food for them.
I garden for Hummingbirds, Butterflies and Bees. During spring through fall, I've two Hummingbird feeders (front and back of the house) that I fill with clear sugar water.
I garden for Hummingbirds, Butterflies and Bees. As well as planting in flowerbeds, I've approx. 60 containers that I use every year during spring - fall. I pot up mainly Salvias, Agastaches, but also Porterweed, Cuphea, Zinnias, Pentas, Lantanas, Verbenas, Fuchsias and some other plants. Along with tender perennials, I pot up hardy perennials.
Here's my ATP garden tour in May 2012 to see a little more about me.
