Breakfast was just done and folks were wandering about the gardens in our newly Xeri-scaped front yard. We had 20 people still with us for breakfast on this beautiful sunny Sunday morning.

Foreground are Jack and Shelley Harynuk of Qualicum, B.C., and in the background are [l-r] John Contreras, Bev Scafe, with Mary and Ernie Carlson. Mary and Ernie are avid gardners back in Rhododendron, Or., and had some pictures of their gardens for us all to look at. Everyone seemed to appreciate the changes we have made in order to conserve water, and yet still be able to enjoy our gardens.
