I’m one of those people who loves the smell of hyacinths. It’s a strong scent, and like oriental lilies, people tend to either love it or hate it. Mine haven’t come up in years outside, so every year when they finally show up in the grocery store, they start to show up in my kitchen.  Day by day, they open…

 

 

Until they tip over.  Ugh, why do they always do that?

But, still pretty and smelling wonderfully!

 

 

This week Stephi Gardens celebrates its First Anniversary!

I had been tossing around ideas for a blog for quite a while, but wasn’t quite sure how it was going to work, or if it would work.  I’m glad I finally got started.  Over this past year, I’ve had a lot of fun exploring my interests and sharing the experiences I’ve had.

I definitely couldn’t have done it without my family and friends supporting my endeavor, and I’m especially grateful for the fabulous advice, ideas and photos from my mom Peggy. 

I’m looking forward to this coming year and all the interesting and fun things it’ll bring.

Thanks for visiting!!
