Caring for the earth After a long day of gardening, the couple likes to walk down to their pond. They’ll watch the sunset and feed the fish. “That’s a really special time of evening because everything’s calming down, and the light is just beautiful,” Brenda said. Or, you might find them sitting on their fruit tree patio eating dinner or appetizers. “It’s another good spot to watch the sunset,” Brenda said. “You can just get a good view and rest because usually we’ve been working out there all day.” That sense of serenity their gardens bring is special to the couple. “When you come here, I want it to feel like you just get this washing of peace over you,” Brenda said. “And people have told us that really is how it feels.” ^
