Traveling, gardening

I love going to new places I have not seen before. There's so much to learn when you travel and I love learning new things!  I will say that the more I travel, the more I realize that we are all the same no matter our destination.  

   

I love gardening and growing my own vegetables, even if this is new to me. I enjoy planting my flowers and watching them grow every summer.
