A Gift to the Street

People who walk by our house sometimes tell us how much they enjoy our garden.  We love hearing that.    I like it when people who walk in the neighborhood enjoy the garden.   I wouldn't want to be on a tour or anything (did that once; didn't like getting ready).  But I do like sharing the garden with our neighbors and those who walk by.

Many, many years ago (more than twenty) my friend and neighbor Barbara gave me this book because she thought our garden made the world a more beautiful place.  I like to think of our garden as a gift to the street.
