How often it is that a garden, beautiful though it be, will seem sad and dreary and lacking in one of its most gracious features, if it has no water. -- Pierre Husson
Faithful Garden Variety reader Dahlink sends this photo in response to today's garden quotation. And it is a perfect response, I think.
Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Oh, Dahlink! Is this (pond whose picture can be seen on the "main" page but not on this, individual, page) in your garden? I'm very jealous.

Eve, yes, we built the pond ourselves. My husband and son did the heavy work (and it was very heavy) and I did most of the landscaping, which evolves from year to year.
