Good morning, friends.  Although it has been less than a week since we took a walk through the gardens together, so much has changed.  I hesitate to say it because I fear I may jinx it…But we have been getting some fabulous rain, and beautiful temperatures of late.  In fact, much of the rain has fallen in the late afternoon and evenings, blessing us with partial or full sun during the daylight hours.  Our garden seems to be loving this, because I must say I don’t think I have ever seen it this healthy looking in the five years we have lived in this house.

And so today, I ask that you join me once again for a tour of the gardens…
