WELCOME to Our Little Place Back in The Hills

Hello and Welcome To Our Little Place Back in the Hills.


"Every gardener knows that under the cloak of winter lies a miracle ...
a seed waiting to sprout, a bulb opening to the light,

a bud straining to unfurl.
And the anticipation nurtures our dream."
~B. Winkler
