Bob & Claudia’s spectacular collaboration in Idaho

Every once in a while , an electronic mail pee me say , " Whoa ! " out loud , and all of my coworkers say , " What ? What is it ? ? " The email that contained today ’s photograph did that . It was from Bob Bloem , who said,“Hello . This garden is a project of myself , Bob Bloem , and my supporter , Claudia Lowry . We live in Coeur d Alene , Idaho , just outside of Spokane , Washington , in the Great Northwest . Although a beautiful part of our land , gardening in this area is quite thought-provoking , with its poor grow season and inconsistant seasons . But that actually makes develop more challenging and fun . I have gardened for a long clip , while Claudia , while at first reluctant , has been at it for over ten years . We take superbia in doing all the work ourselves , whether it is pulling weed or build furniture for a seating area . Our garden covers tight to an acre of splash , very jumpy terrain . But by add lots of territory and mental imagery , we have made it into a singular place . As you could see by the photos , we have several seating areas that take advantage of the unlike moods . We go for you enjoy . “I’m sorry Bob , but this is just not enough . We need at LEAST 100 more photos . I have it away I say that to multitude every twenty-four hour period , but this fourth dimension I really , really think of it . Gorgeousness . Seriously .
