"Love Needs No Other Reason..."

Positive images of people like me... The truth of the matter is that we all need to see people like ourselves. So everyday, I'll post a photo, drawing or some other artwork that depicts Same Gender Loving People as what we are... Only Human.

"A Thought To Ponder..."

I dream of a love that is more than two people craving to possess one another.

"The Views From Home..."

That's Husband surveying the gardens

The street view of our home

This is an upstairs patio just off my office that overlooks the garden

The new gazebo is this year's addition to the back garden

Husband really likes it.

Yep, pink flamingos... they're enameled metal sculptures

Best garden idea I ever had was twenty years ago when I decided to hang an illuminated painting on this wall above the bench...

I love to look out the windows at night and see the lovely light it casts over the area

The arborvitae hedge is newly installed so that we don't have to see the neighbor's yard, which looks terrible

This is one of my other favorite seating areas in our garden, this area is below the Florida room windows and overlooks the fountain which is down what I call the "parkway" alongside Husband's perennial garden

After all the heat over the last month, yesterday was a beautiful day, 69 degrees and sunny... Husband and I spent the evening together in the garden enjoying the fruits of our labors

Watch for more from the gardens at our home in the woods* this fall

*"Our Home in the Woods" is an homage to my mother's birthplace of Itta Bena, Mississippi whose place name in the Choctaw language means "Home in the woods. It's also a play on the name of our subdivision, Russell Woods, which at the time it was developed (1920-1950) was filled with shady tree lined streets. Dutch Elm disease took a huge toll on the neighborhood's tree stock in the 1970's but many of the replacement trees planted in the 1980s are now mature and have restored the arboreal look of the area.
