WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE?

I HAVE BEEN NURTURING MY LITTLE ROMAINE LETTUCE PLANTS. I GO OUT THERE 2 TIMES A DAY TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET MISTED. I HAVE BROUGHT THEM FROM SEED TO BABY PLANTS DURING THIS HOT DESERT HEAT. TODAY I NOTICED THAT SOMETHING IS MUNCHING ON THEM FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT. I SAY GET THE BLANK OFF MY LETTUCE. UPON CLOSE INSPECTION I WAS HORRIFIED TO DISCOVER THE DREADED GREEN CUTWORM THAT EATS A MILLION TIMES ITS WEIGHT IN 2 SECONDS FLAT AND THEN EXPANDS TO LOOK LIKE A FAT GREEN CIGAR. WELL---THIS IS MY ORGANIC GARDEN AND I'M NOT TAKING IT ANYMORE. SO......I FLICKED THEM OFF THE LETTUCE AND SQUISHED THEM GOOD !!!!!! THEN I WENT TO TOWN WITH SAFER'S ORGANIC 3-IN-ONE GARDEN SPRAY. AM I A HERO OR WHAT?

My sister dale’s garden is a magical path lined with fruit trees, gardenias, day lilies, and many other flowering plants. When you enter her garden you immediately are captivated by it’s tropical feel even though it is located in the California Desert.

It all began as a tribute to the only sister I had, a sister only two and a half years younger than me. Dale was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and passed away two years later after a tango like dance with the disease.

The pictures on the website were taken over a three year period documenting the beauty and life that goes on after her death. I continue to take pictures almost daily as the beauty unfolds. A whisper of Dale’s ashes grace the garden and I believe that she is the caretaker of every bulb, plant, tree and bird that flourishes. It started in a small area and then expanded to include a koi pond, grape arbor and vegetable garden. Dale’s nurturing touches every living thing on our property.

Please enjoy the beauty that I hope I have captured with these pictures. May they bring you joy and a sense of calmness if you are stressed dealing with an illness or life’s everyday challenges. May Dale’s memory bring joy and hope to others.
