| "I Come to the Garden Alone... Where the Dew is Still on the Roses". |

| Below are pictures taken of the garden that
we planted from seeds furnished by God. We did not know what type of flowers would
appear. The seeds were collected on our first trip together to Niagara Falls last
year in September. The trip began because Sir Knight wanted me to dream again and as
I write this I realize that I had a dream then but neither one of us noticed what this
tiny little dream was... a beautiful, serenity garden. So this garden is our special garden. You might even say that it is our anniversary garden... close to one year of a very special friendship. We think that the beauty of these flowers show the beauty of our relationship. |

| Now that you know how we got the seeds, here is how the garden got planted. We stayed in town long enough for a certain eight year old to get very bored. It was a Sunday morning and he wondered what we could fill our day with. I looked at the huge overgrown flower bed in front of BFC and said, "Wouldn’t this be a beautiful place to plant the seeds." Warning! Warning! Be very careful what you ask from an eight year old, tarnished knight because before you know it you will be in one gigantic project at the blink of an eye. |

Other creatures... bees, butterflies, grass hoppers, stone ducks, and concrete horses cavort in our flower garden. |  |

 |
| The garden started out to be just in the circular area with the cross ties. Then in the evenings we would sit and watch the sunset together looking at the flowers and we started building on each other’s ideas. Each night we would invision something else in the area and the next day we would make it appear in the garden. We decided that it would be a "no rules" garden. There is even cotton planted in the garden from seeds we picked up on the side of the road in Arkansas. Any flowering plant can live in our garden that wants to... and bugs are welcome... except for the biting ones. |
 |
The fish pond was thought of one evening and two hours later Sir Knight had a hole in the ground waiting for the fish to arrive. He found another special place that he could put our beloved, collected rocks. Rock hounds are always hunting for display areas. |  |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Over the course of the last few months, we have become "Rock Hounds" of the first order. We found a creative way to display our finds from recent trips around the fish pond. |  |

 |
| Our bungalow and building sits on top of a hill overlooking the city of Millersville, Tennessee. We spend pleasant evenings sitting outside and looking out over the valley. | ||

The cute, wooden crafted, bird house was purchased at the Smithville Jamboree and fits perfectly in our "no rules" garden. |

 |
We are working on an interior waterfall garden in front of our bungalow. To follow are progress pictures of this garden. |  |
 |
|
 |
 |
Large rocks are being gathered to form a massive corner waterfall and creek running down the inside of the wall. |  |
| The vegetable garden in the wood chips is still hanging in there, but the heat is taking its toll. |
|
|
 |
The flower bed in front of the museum is a tribute to Jeff Philpott's gardening expertise. |  |
 |
|
| We are also presenting a few pictures of the inside of the bungalow. Inside is strange, but it suits a four and eight year old just fine. Our home interior is a "no rules" design just like the garden. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
We have created more "show-off" places for our rock collections. |  |
|
 |
|
 |
| Cheri has accumulated many mysterious and interesting collectibles that we proudly display. |

Some members of our household would like to bid you a fond adieu |  |
|
| We are thoroughly enjoying our garden and we hope that you have enjoyed looking at our picture of it. More later as our garden continues to grow and change. |
