Mindy Starns Clark is the bestselling author of numerous books, both fiction and nonfiction, including perennial favorite
The House That Cleans Itself and
the Christy Award-winning
The Amish Midwife. Mindy, husband John, and two daughters live near Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. As the daughter of an avid organic gardener, Mindy would rather look at beautiful flowers than do all the work that makes them that way, as the weeds in her "leftover tulip garden" attest. She explains: "Every Christmas, I like to send a gift to everyone at my publishing house. The year my novel,
The Trouble with Tulip, came out, I sent gifts of tulip bulbs. I didn't know what to do with the leftover bulbs, but a strangely warm winter day came along, so I stuck them in the ground around our front lamp post. I forgot all about them, but that spring they popped up, blooming beautifully—and have continued to bless us each year since!" Visit Mindy's website at

How cozy. Makes me want to rock in the rocker and visit with my best friend while drinking a Cherry Pepsi.
First met Mindy through her House That Cleans Itself book. Love her ideas in there and the real help since I've implemented her ideas.
And I think we have identical rockers on our front porches. Rock on, Mindy.

My Grandma is reading your book that is pictured, right now. :) Your tulips are very pretty. We have tulips and enjoy them when they come out every year.

Thanks for all of your sweet comments! You guys simply made my day. I've been away on business for a while and missed seeing my tulips this year. Recently got home after a month away, and though the tulips are done, at least the azaleas are still going strong.
So glad you like my rocking chairs..and my books! Blessings, Mindy
Deb! What a lovely blog! Love, love, love it! I'll enjoy following you and these wonderful authors in your gardens.
I love gardeing too. In California I could garden year-round, but alas, not so here in KS.
Looking forward to another great book!
So glad you're enjoying the blog, Carolyn. I lament not being able to garden year-round, too, but I think we winter people appreciate our gardens more! :)
Thanks for stopping by, and do come back soon!
