I actually live about 17 miles southeast of Houghton Lake in the middle of no where. No stores, gas stations, just woods and lots of wild animals. I have been married 43 years and have 2 daughters ages 42 and 40, and my son is 39. I wish they lived closer. I only have 1 granddaughter who is 19. I work full time from home doing medical transcription for a national company. I used to love my job, but that is a different story. I have about 225 tall bearded iris, 47 Siberians and 10 Japanese irises. I also have a large perennial garden with peonies, daylilies, foxgloves, delphiniums, lilies, and a lot more. My other hobbies are photography, fishing, and target shooting. I am a member of the American Iris Society and the Siberian Iris Society. Also, I am a member of the NRA and a certified range safety officer. A few years ago I started hybridizing my own irises. I have a lot of seedlings, but so far only 1 of them has bloomed. I hope to have a lot bloom next year. Taking care of my garden takes so much time, but I love to be outside playing in the dirt. So much to do, so little time. I actually have more than I can take care of, but I am an iris addict and I can't help myself.
