Full Circle – A Gift that Keeps on Changing

October 1, 2009

Hello fellow gardeners,

It has already been one full year describing the seasons and giving you suggestions on how to improve your gardens. When it comes around “Full Circle” it’s always a surprise to realize how quickly we pass through one year and its four seasons. Have you noticed how the garden can envelop (or swallow) you, and the time we spend gardening changes how we perceive life, time, and space?

Never-ending Artists in Arivaca

October 1, 2009

Dolly DeVilleneuve was always fascinated by the splendor of the desert skies at sunset, rising from the multi-layered, many-hued mountain ranges, and the light-dark contrast of Mesquite trunks. She often visited her family in Arivaca and sketched, using colored pencils, returning to her home in San Diego to paint her canvases. Oil paints were her medium, and she mixed her own colors. “I love colors, ” she liked to tell people. “I’m really an illustrator; I like to stylize, and paint in my own way. ”
