The Past Six Weeks -

Were spent frantically preparing for yesterday's garden tour...













For the past two weeks the weather has been sunny and mild, but yesterday the coastal fog never burned off in our part of the city, so it was a little cool to be outside - tolerable on the deck, but only the braver souls spent time in the yard.
Perfect light conditions for photos, though.
I got a chance to walk through the garden before visitors arrived - alone, except for Cooper, who can be seen leaving the premises after doing a quick, final inspection.

This week I'm joining in the Common Ground blog party.
See you there!

    It's absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations, beautiful job. And I love the word cool, we're in week 4 of 90 degrees and 90% humidity. Need to visit SF in the summer :)

    Thanks, Christine.
    The best part is I'm continually surprised when I go outside and find such a well manicured garden.
    If it would only stay that way!

    Dropping by here from apartment therapy link. What a gorgeous garden! I used to live in Berkeley and I can understand the worries of water rationing now that the drought is in full swing. Have you considered doing grey water recycling? I hope your garden continue to thrive! *katzies*
