The day began with the promise of an early morning storm; no rain, but a cool breeze and an overcast sky made it so wonderful to be outside this July morning. There were clouds in the sky, heavy clumps of gray at varying levels and in shades from light to dark. We have only a few days of cloudy skies in Arizona, so when they occur, we talk about it, noticing, watching, and photographing them. The forecast promised rain, but it missed us. We stay dry. Here the water supply worries are real.

Rich wandering
Behind the beautiful garden images and half the fun of the garden visits all over the world is this guy, Rich, my husband of 45 years. Together we are exploring the world through gardens and having an exciting time. Our joint study of geography has reminded us of how big the world is and how easy it is to forget our country is not the center of the universe. We’ve met wonderful people everywhere we go and experienced some “aha moments” that continue to resonate in our view of the world.

This article appears in the September 2015 issue of Phoenix Home & Garden. It features our home garden. The copyright access to the photos expired, so I’ve added a gallery of similar images at the end. Hope you enjoy the tour.
Garden of Heart, Art & Flower
“The ongoing relationship of a human being with a certain plot of ground is at its heart a romance, for to garden honestly is to fall in love, in love with the rhythms and miracles of nature, in love with life itself.” Scott Ogden, The Moonlit Garden
