About me

My screen name reflects two of my passions: books and gardening. Other hobbies include metalsmithing, beadwork, and caring for my Springer Spaniel, Kirby.

Current project

Metalwork: creating a shank ring—Finished it! Yay! Now working on hinged bracelet. Garden: cleaning up last fall's perenniel debris—almost done. Book: Sword of the Lady Audiobook: Gone with the Wind (listening to it is taking almost as long as the war itself) Phew! finally finished. Now onto Black Out by Connie Willis.

Type of gardener

laissez faire

Favorite garden activity

buying new plants—newest addition is a native trillium

Iknow, I know. Had a little excitement here—we were burgled last wednesday and my laptop was stolen! Truly. Anyway, I'm about to upload my new contribution.

Not really. Dana bought me a hot 27-inch iMac. It's smokin'. I can't figure out how I integrated photos last time. Hints?

Hello BookWorm--I can definitely understand how you developed your screenname...and its both clever and cute, too. This is such a fun site; it has given me so much joy to post and receive messages/comments/posts from other gardening enthusiasts. They have been quite friendly. All of this has compounded my happiness in the garden as well. I can't blame you from buying new plants. I don't need anymore, yet I have to restrain myself (from "rescuing" plants) at the local nursery. My husband and I just planted about 30 crocosmia lucifer bulbs, 500 tulip bulbs, some landini lily bulbs, African corn lily bulbs, plus some stargazer and casa blanca lily bulbs. I can hardly wait for Spring's sunshine to awaken my garden; but, in the meantime, I'm beading as well. So, I'd love to know what your current project is/are. Happy gardening!

I thought all the green was appropriate for a garden site. Just to let you know, I am working on my first contribution. Shank ring? well the shank (the part that goes around the finger is U-shaped and the top part, usually with some kind of bezel set stone is soldered to the top. I'll send pix once I have the shank completed. Loved Monkeys. What an incredible writer.
