    My TBI occured in 2001
    was clothing designer who could no longer sew and create.
    In July 2005 I found I was still creative; but had a different medium...
    flowers :) This was something I was not aware of until the need for a garden came about. These are from a 35mm and I used digital to get them here. Most all the artsy stuff came from garage sales. I had fun glueing different glass pieces together. In the last pic in the background you will see a large hanging stained glass oval piece. I paid $5.00 for this...what it is is the glass insert to someone's
    old front door and has been removed to be hung.
    Unfortunately I had a disagreement with manager over something and they made me dismantal the entire yard and I have not planted again til this spring. It hurt my heart to pull my yard apart. I have healed; I am gardening again after 6 years :)
    but wanted to share.

    As a nurseryman's wife I say that you did a marvelous job. My one addition to that is to say "MOVE' to where you can have such a lovely place again.

    you grow beautiful flowers. You also increased the value of that property by your beauty. I am sure that manager was a nasty person to everyone and good riddance.
