Our home garden is a living canvas, shifting and flourishing with each season. High desert gardening is no easy feat—every bloom is a small triumph, born of patience, resilience, and a touch of artistry. The blossoms that emerge are more than just flowers; they are proof that beauty can thrive even in challenging places.

As the garden evolves, I’ve grown especially fond of perennials, their return each year like a familiar friend. Lately, apple mint blossoms have captured my heart—their playful, fluffy forms sway in the breeze, like fuzzy caterpillars or whimsical noodles on a stick. They remind me that even the most unexpected details can bring delight and charm to a garden.
