Tending To My Garden

Guest post written by Phyllis Daye

I never had a green thumb until I retired and had the time to really learn how to garden. Gardeningwas something that I always wanted to do, but I would always kill pretty potted plants I’d plant or buy to decorate my house or front porch.
Most days my neighbors will see me caring for my plants and flowers out in my garden in front of my house in the mornings. I’ve given growing fruits and vegetables a try, but would rather just buy them in the grocery store and concentrate my work on pretty flowers.

A lot of days my neighbors will be walking down our street in our development and say hi and sometimes stop to chat. So many times neighbors would end up sneaking up on me because I wouldn’t hear them from the street or sidewalk when I had my back turned, working on my garden. One day my friend Marshall came up behind me and suggested that I look into Miracle Ear Hearing Aids to help out with this problem. I took his advice and found one that was right for me.
It’s not like I needed to be able to hear to garden, but it sure helps socializing with my neighbors.
