Hello...am so glad you stopped in!

I'm Jerry Dean Swanson, and this is where I share some photos...and my life...
with family and friends.

My very first bottle tree.  The snow was sticking to everything!

It looks like everything is flocked!

I did my Master Gardener training in Green Lake, WI.
And MG will probably be the ONLY initials
I will ever be able to put after my name...Smiles!
Wanna come over and volunteer some weeding time?
 

 So...would you like to see what I like doing with my spare time?
Are you in the mood to join me on a short walk in the gardens?

So...Take my hand and come with me on a walk
through My Secret Garden!

I grew up in the Madison area.  I now live in the middle of the woods in Princeton, Wisconsin with Dolores Anne Sara Bernadette Bianchi, Ted (cat), Bailey (Papillion), Alice (Papillion), Bird #1 (Budgey), Bird #2, (Budgey), and the fishies.
Everyone says "Hi".

My flower gardens are my passion...
I love digging in the dirt!
And...I weed my best in the nude.
Uh huh...I'm that Naked Gardener Guy!
 

So...My business is called Bottle Tree Creations
and I still do my computer work (CompAssist).
I have a home-office/Studio/shop...
Been my own boss for over 30 years...

And I LOVE my job!!

Alice...My Boss!
She's a Papillon (French for butterfly).
She was born July 19, 2007
And she weighs 4 1/2 pounds.

Bailey and Alice

They actually call this a Blue

Been playing EA Battlefield since the 1942 version.
Progressed through all the versions until today.
Always found myself going to BF2 for the REAL fun.

And when I joined the {TNT} Squad...it got better.

So...this is a link to the TNT Squad I belong to...
I'll have a more attractive link soon...

 Alice helping me do some early-morning browsing, email, and plan-making for the day.
As long as ALICE is comfortable!
But how can you say no to that face then?

That's our resident Red-tailed Hawk sitting on top of the gazebo...scouting the yard.
He visits everyday!

So...I split my free time between the computer, gardens, and telescope.
Did I just say I have free time?  Ya Right! 

So...why Heinekn?  Cuz Heineken is my favorite beer!

My hobbies include gardening (especially gardening), astronomy, computers, camping, reading, photography,
and the Internet.

And speaking of ASTRONOMY...click here to see my SCOPE PAGE

Spot the frog helping me water the plants?

We DID get some snow this season!

It's a good thing this is a far-away picture...
otherwise you would see all the weeds in the gardens!

So...THANKS for visiting and taking the time!
