When a long-time friend asked if our mom,
Cindy, would have her yard on the Garden Tour her first response was, “No!"
Then she said, "Oh, why not!" At the first signs of spring she got to
work and the results of her hard work were amazing.

Goldie acted as the official tour guide greeting every
visitor and showing them the way. She even made the news! Check out the story.

Cindy calls her yard a work in progress and it probably
will always be. “I love the tulips, daffodils and the bright yellow
forsythia of early spring and when those have past their bloom along come the
iris, the snowball tree, poppies and then the roses. Late summer brings the
full tomato plants, all you can pick basil, massive sunflowers and my little
granddaughters eating handfuls of blackberries and raspberries straight from the
bush.”

Cindy’s garden has been the setting for yard parties, baby showers,
hot dog roasts and late night gatherings lasting all the way to the first
frost. Most Saturdays you will find us meeting over morning coffee and something Skylar has baked. There is always a lot of laughter to be found here.
