 Books and music feed my soul. I tend to be an eclectic reader and my choices include both fiction and non-fiction across many styles. My favorite music runs to Folk, Celtic and Early Music. Books in the Gardening section are my responsibility and I dream of creating the kinds of beautiful spaces I can only read about. If you are interested in EVERYTHING, as I am and are not too worried about focus, you may enjoy checking out my selections.
