Irises come in many colors, but my favorite is this beautiful purple. The name iris comes from the greek word for rainbow, (arcoiris, for those who speak Spanish). It seems fitting that such a spectacular flower is named after one of nature's most spectacular sights.. All esle aside, it means Spring is around the corner.
I love aminals. I feel especially connected to cats. I love their independence, their free spirit, their aloofness.
I grow most of my own vegetables at Austin's unique Sunshine Community Gardens. Here in this peaceful place, (who would know this, when its a constant battle against the ever-present, evil weed) we practice orgainic gardening, trying so hard to fight the ferocious, agressive fire ants with natural products, when really all we want is to douse the whole lot of them with the vilest poisons. But no, here at the gardens, one must repress those urges.
My children are now grown up, the nest empty. With more time on my hands, I wrote and self-published a book.
I take correspondence writing classes, the old style, snail mail. Presently, I'm writing a novel under the auspicious eye of an instructor.
I, or should I say we, will celebrate our 30th anniversary in September.
I am not religious, yet I consider myself spiritual.
Someday, I hope to write a book that sells really well.
