Desert Garden 2014-2015

This year we turned the useless covered area into a small garden! I planted some kale, lettuce, cauliflower, green beans, carrots, and melons. Chris planted a few heirloom tomatoes. We enjoyed vegetables all winter, and we have a lot of tomatoes in the freezer! I even made tomato jam - so many tomatoes!

Chris's hobby - trimming tomato plants!

Awesome spot for morning coffee!

Winter in Dubai 2014

Winter in Dubai means we have visitors, and it's cool enough to go outside! Alarna, Sam and Eliane came from Saudi Arabia to visit us - Christmas cookies and crafts and ice skating.
