About Me
- Annie
- Getting older. Enjoy reading, tennis, family and friends, patchwork and quilting, classical music, helping people, attending church, minding grandchildren. I also enjoy playing cards, scrabble, carcasonne with family and friends, as well as doing Sudokus. Being a tiny bit of a former mathematician and statistician, I can't let a sudoku go past without it crying out to be solved. And despite my liking to write lots of words here, I am no good at crosswords!! And how could I have forgotten photography?

I love the light on the sign. It's as if somebody's trying to tell us something.
The greenery in the garden is so immaculately tended to it's almost too perfect.
Discipline and order, I suppose are the themes...I need to check myself into this garden for a long while.
wv = criess, which is what I do when I realize how undisciplined I am.
yes, cbw, although I guess for me ...it is a relaxing place...because of the discipline and order that no longer exists at my place either!
Perfect post for a day like this ..storm is moving up the coast and I have a headache ... OY!
What an absolutely gorgeous garden!!! If I lived near such a place, I would visit it frequently!!!! Such a peaceful and happy place...Beautiful photography!!! And love the shot of the sign...Janine XO
I like the serenity that it seems to offer. Quiet is always welcome!
