Luytens bench adds a destination and visual focal point

Arbor at back of garden image as featured in Southern Living. All that's missing is my cat, Pumpkin.

That's my old cat Sterling on the deck.

My patio has irregular flagstone in pit gravel edged in brick -- just off the deck.

Blue bench and a mosaic made with leftover Mexican tiles and broken blue pieces quickly set into concrete add a little interest to gravel path.

Love having fresh spring vegetables!

The view out back just before Southern Living arrived for their shoot.

Apples and herbs provide aarly spring color in the kitchen garden.

My shed on shoot day when Country Gardens Magazine came to photograph for the cover of their magazine.
