My mother-in-love Kris is a gardener. She lives and breaths gardens. Dreams them up, nurtures them, cultivates them and enjoys them. She redesigns a 1/2 sun; 1/4 shade and 1/4 veggie/fruit garden every year. She toils in the sun and soil for the utter joy of the doings involved with gardening. Some of you can relate to her desire for dirt, water and life to be entwined with mental space time.

I am a garden lover not a gardener. I do however enjoy photographing her garden. Here are a few shots from this weekend. I hope to add more of her garden photos to my blog over the Summer and into the Fall.
