Whenever I eat cherries, I think of my grandfather. I surely inherited my fondness for cherries from him. He had an incredible variety of cherry cultivars in his magnificent garden, and I associate these memories with the carefree summers of my childhood.

Since we live near the woods and have a few sun-warmed walls in our garden, we sometimes get visits from lizards. I haven't painted a lizard yet, but I'm sure there will be more in the future.

A garden without water isn't a garden. I love to have several spots with water inside my garden. Some are for birds, hedgehogs, and other critters to bathe and drink. Some are simply to enjoy the murmur of falling water with fountains. And in recent years, we've had many frogs visiting these locations.
