I like gardening. Or rather, I like the IDEA of gardening. And when I say gardening, I actually mean flowers, not vegetables (although I like those too). I’m the person who dreams of having overflowing gardens.

It’s me again, Susie May. I know you’re disappointed because my VA’s newsletters were so fun to read! (She’s also an author, by the way. If you’re interested in her books, check them out at sewarrenfiction.com!)
