One of my favorite reasons is that I can virtually garden all year long. (Don't talk to me about this from June-August....HOWEVER, I can garden in the high country then!)
What a gift I have in the backyard garden box.
This is a six-pound grapefruit...no kidding....six pounds!
And lemons drip off the dwarf tree like icicles in the north right about now. 
Yellow roses serve as a constant reminder of friendship all around us......
(oh...and that is a bobcat trap...)
