The Secret Garden and Other Surprises



Dinner with Joanna and family is a treat.  The food is fresh and delicious. Always something different when Becca is involved.
I love Joanna's home. It is clever, artistic, yet homey. You want to explore the nooks and crannies.

The porch is a haven for birds that are able to fit through the openings in the trellis.  Gourds hung on the walls have been made into nests by the birds. 

The yard is a tapestry of colors, plant filled pots and even a kite in the cherry tree.

The way to the picnic table is a little Harry Potterish with uneven stairs and stepping stones.  Charming.

My favorite quote of the day was Dakki  who while pouring a multitude of sugar into her tea cup said,"Salt and sugar are just preservatives."

All in all...a great experience.
