Frogwell Gardens is a private magical oasis on south Whidbey.
Frogwell combines English design with Northwest glory, towering
rhododendron to walk under, peonies, viburnum,
iris, roses, everything in its season. Music and wine too.

From a recent Texas trip to visit family.
Il Porcellino surrounded by flowers in Rice Village, Houston, Texas. It is one of
several copies from a 17th century Italian sculptor. Originally, coins were placed in his mouth, this one is a fountain.
Another version in my grandchildren's playroom.
One evening I walked a few blocks to the canal that flows through the residential area of Braeswood in Houston. That night and the next morning we had wild crazy thunderstorms with blue-black skies and torrents of rain. The canal quickly became a full sized river!
