Welcome to Bountiful Home Life!

In his 1828 dictionary, Noah Webster defines bountiful as: "Free to give; liberal in bestowing gifts and favores; munificent; and generous." We at Bountiful Home Life want to bestow upon you helpful tips and ideas for enjoying your life. We enjoy reading the many home decorating magazines out there, but discovered that they usually did not represent us. We are just average people with small homes, on small lots, with small incomes. We don't think that we are alone! Therefore, we have created this site for those who live in the REAL world.

We live in the high desert in Arizona where it freezes in the winter, but is quite warm in the summer. Our lot is 1/3 acre and our landscaping is quite extensive and increasing each year. Last year we built some nice lattice, privacy screens on our patio. We planted Star Jasmine on them. Winter is almost over and Spring will soon be here. The weather was quite cold this year and many of my plants froze back hard, especially the Jasmine. Hopefully, it will be a warm Spring and they can recover by Summer.
