I love taking walks in the spring outdoors. All too soon, summer will be here and walks will have to happen in the early morning hours before the heat of the day arrives. I suppose that I could always take a walk inside of our local air-conditioned mall, but I think that would get expensive […]
I absolutely love this time of year. The weather is gorgeous and everything is in bloom. Although the afternoons can get a little hot, the mornings are still cool and a perfect time for a walk through the neighborhood. Now before we leave on our walk, I almost always bring my camera with me, because […]

Our last two places that we visited were Hannibal, Missouri where Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) grew up and lastly, Carthage, Missouri, which is located on Route 66 and was the home […]
I wish I could share with you personally, how wonderful our trip has been so far. I have enjoyed the natural beauty, the towns and the people of the Midwest.

Suffered Frost Damage Here in the Southwest, we were hit with a deep freeze this past winter. Temps in my garden fell to 20 degrees F. Now we aren’t strangers to occasional freezes each winter. But what made this one different was that we had 4 successive days of extreme cold. As I drive down […]
Earlier this week, I had a single day full of landscape consults. I enjoy helping people with their plants and landscapes. My second consult of the day was with a couple who had just moved here from Ohio. They had questions about one of the Saguaro cactus, which was leaning a bit as well as […]
