    Your property reflects your sense of art much the same way your music does. The very traits that your music has, your yard has. Color, movement, excitement, beauty, serenity, passion, hard work. I see it all in your yard, as I hear it in your music. Thank you for the guided tour.

As long as I didn't touch his plants, I was allowed to enjoy his garden, and I did. (He didn't have any Fiberglas or concrete livestock, however....)

    First and foremost Lee, You have really made my day, as I thought I was the only eejit that cuts around with a pair of scissors! Hahaha In my humble opinion, nothing does a better job. Your lawn is beautiful. I love the boy's water feature drinking bowls. Our two boys have a large fresh water container to drink from, but they insist on drinking the water from the pond, which I'm just waiting for one of them to fall in, especially Gordon the Lhasa Apso. He outstretches that much, that he's literally balancing himself on his paw nails to reach the water. I'm surprised he hasn't fallen in a long time ago!! Your oranges look wonderful.
    Thank you so much for giving us a tour around your stunning garden. My very best to you and Maureen, and the boys, and I hope you are all safe and well. Blessings from Ireland

    Ahh! You are the only other person I’ve heard say they edge/trim the grass with scissors! I do, too and also have used a serrated bread knife... many blisters result but the grass is so thick that an edger never defines the line enough. What amazing gardens and lawn you have. All the hours of your care and work is evident. Everything was so prolific here as well. I attributed it to the lack of human interference for several months, cleaner air, less noise, more insects/pollinators etc. Thank you for sharing your beautiful yard. I love wildlife, too and am lucky to have an abundance even in my in-town location. I love the beautiful boys, too! I have four and one girl- not Bassetts though. Maybe one day! They are so soulful and funny!
