Hi, my name is Renee… and like my daughter I too have a love for  playing in the dirt. Working many years in grocery, confined inside while the outdoors always beckoned me. Retirement is looming and a new freedom, one which has eluded me for to long. Breathlessly and with great anticipation, I await it’s arrival. My lists of dos and don’t have long come from Sunset magazine,  The Northwest Gardening book, and Cisco Morris. At a glance you’d think Mr Morris and I were related… not by our gardening techniques, but behaviorally. Energetic is a nice term, but truly the best word to use is hyper. So follow our story… that is if you can keep up!
