Gallery 3: The Garden
I inherited my mom's green thumb and love of gardening. Although we live in Phoenix, which has severe summers that seem to last forever, we are still able to enjoy flowers and green grass much of the year.

A lover of all things English, I endeavored to have an English cottage garden for many years. It's a bit on the seedy side now, but still colorful. We augment with potted pansies, mums and stock each fall and spring. The weather here, from December to April or so, can't be beat.
