“One of the greatest virtues of gardening is this perpetual renewal of youth and spring, of promise of flower and fruit that can always be read in the open book of the garden, by those with an eye to see, and a mind to understand.” ~ E.A. Bowles

The greatest virtues of rescue dogs are the same.

I am a nascent gardener, rescuer, and photographer, chronicling the journey of the dogs at Homeward Bound Golden Retriever Rescue and Sanctuary near Sacramento, CA - and the Memorial Garden we have devoted to them.

  1. So beautiful! All the patience, all the nurturing is so worth every captured smile and welcomed belly rub ❤

  2. Such a beautiful, colourful garden and the dogs looks so happy. It is so dry and hot here (still) that our garden is not coping, we desperately need rain but they’re predicting a mild, dry winter.

    1. Well, I hope they are wrong about your winter – as they were ours. One of the rainiest/snowiest (and scariest!) on record. We’ll try to blow some your way. 🙂

      1. I hope so too otherwise we’ll be left with bare dirt instead of grass and garden. The wildlife struggle in this constant heat as well. Enjoy Spring! 🙂
