Favorite Quotes
Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.

About My Gardens
I live on a corner lot in the suburbs with 1350 sq. ft. of "parking" or "hellstrips," as they are called. Experiencing a drought in 2002, we decided to convert the strips to waterwise (Xeriscape) landscaping. While I have other gardens, they are my pride and joy. Gardening in Colorado can be either delightful or challenging, and that changes hour-by-hour. We are in a semi-arid climate, with lots of sunny days, desiccating winds, damaging hail, torrential downpours, and extreme temperature changes.
