This is How My Garden Grows

I am so gonna miss this backyard when it is gone. I cannot get enough of it right now.

Dinosaur Tails

When Evan was a baby first able to comprehend books, he fell in love with dinosaurs. That fascination lasted for many years. As a toddler we lived in a house on a cul-de-sac with neighbors 5 feet away, on the other side of a tall wooden fence. One day while upstairs making beds, Evan stood up and spied a sight on the other side of the fence.


He shouted out in glee- " Dinosaur tails, Mommy!" Indeed.

That is what they looked like then, and now. That is what we have called this plant since 1995. I have said since moving here, that much of what I used to believe was fantasy from the head of Dr. Seuss was really his environment. We live in his neighborhood of tuttle-tuttle trees and dinosaur tails...
