green things

I never thought I would like plants. Always disliked them growing up. Hated having to water them and the mess they made when they would get knocked over, but guess what.. but now that I have my own home I find myself liking them and even wanting to plant a garden! I love that feeling of getting something to grow and look pretty! I can totally understand my moms love for plants now. Unfortunately the garden thing didn't work out for this year ( maybe next year!) but I did manage a few potted plants and herbs - thanks to my mom!  Only have a few succulents so far but plan on expanding that collection!

 Oh and I've only killed one so far so that isn't too bad?  Love having a bit of outdoors inside, and loving that I can walk out my back door and have fresh herbs to cook with.
