I am new to gardening and I am hooked! So is my husband. What a joyful hobby. We downsized from a very large house after the kids went to college to a smaller home and now we have the time baby our yard. Living in North Dakota, we spend most of our time 'planning' and building for the months we do get to spend outside. We build all sorts of unique birdhouses and feeders. It's A Wonderful Life.
