Oregon's long rainy Winter leaves time for the imagination!! Let me think...What combos will I have in my driveway this year? Looked great last year, but I want it different than last... Ahhh that's it, that should work...I think I will sleep on it for awhile, dozing off to the sound of rain...
Dreaming of my Garden and the Winter rain that makes it flourish
