When you have the time & muse to do some writing, it would be great if you wrote a blog on this TW site.

Its planting time & the spring blooms are at peak! I'm looking forward to connecting with you! Give a call if you can swing by to visit for tea or walk.
The month of May is amazing with all the garden farm chores that need to happen all at once, and so many folks wanting extra help in their gardens!
I'll forward you a couple of the TW group networks I think you'll be interested in!
