RE: A lovely weekend

My husband built the teahouse, took him almost two years - he did the whole
thing himself (I provided a little manual labor). He started out with the
idea for a simple gazebo. Then he saw this picture in a magazine and figured
he could build it. Well, you get an engineer started on something like that
and requirements creep is practically inevitable. So now we have a sort-of
Japanese teahouse...with stained glass windows (it's a long story)...and a
sort-of Japanese garden to go with it. And it's pretty darn nice even if you
can't put misters out there, which was the original idea. 
We can't ever sell, there's too much work invested here!

Cyndi,

It was nice to look at your garden pictures.  It's so different where you
live, being a high desert environment and all. Creating an oasis in all that
arid terrain must be satisfying.  That's some vegetable garden!  I'm lucky
to get a couple of tomatoes planted along with my favorite herbs. I liked
the nice combinations of plant material in your gardens. You have a tea
house?  I'm impressed!
