W e live in the Houston, Texas area of the USA. I am a native Texan. I was born in Corpus Christi. I moved to Temple Texas and lived there for many years, then moved to Houston in 1965.

When I am not at work, in the garden, or on the computer, I may be found in my studio painting. I am also interested in genealogy and have been researching my family tree at the Clayton Library for Genealogical Research here in Houston. My maiden name was Holland. I have traced my fathers family, the Hollands and the Scotts, back to the 1800's in Tennessee.

I call this my "garden" because it is about growing friendships, growing in faith, and growing in knowledge of many things as well as growing plants. I even feel like looking back into my family history has been a growing experience.

Sitting in the shade won't make your garden grow;
It takes constant working with a shovel and a hoe.
The same holds true with your life, my friend.
It takes prayer and dedication right to the end.
M. Mohr

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy;
they are the charming gardeners
who make our souls blossom.
