When she's not serving her clients, you can find Nora busy in her garden. She not only has a vegetable garden that produces more than she can eat, she also has a two-story hill in her backyard, terraced with two waterfalls. She enjoys beautifying the area with thousands of flowers that bloom in the spring and summer.
