but my biggest is gardening. We have turned our yard from the worst in the neighborhood to the the one that everyone stops to look at. A couple years ago I looked out my back yard and there was this lady standing there. Our backyard is very private and it scared me to see someone standing out there. I went out and asked if I could help and she said that she lived in the neighborhood and just had to see the gardens, because we had done such a good job with them. Weird. I think she was starting to lose it....
We have spent more in our gardens that we have in improvement to the actual house. My favorite garden backs up to our bedroom on the back side of the house. We buried posts and then attached rope to the posts for the border. Then we built a walk way that snaked around to a bench in the back. That was the focal point. Well the bushes have just grown so much in the past couple of years that you can no longer get to the bench. I trim and trim but we decided to pull the bench out. Now CAL uses that space to hide.
Now that the focal point is gone I would love to stick a Wall Fountains on the house in that corner. I have some roses planted there now but it just is not a good place for roses. Someday I will "bless" y'all with pictures.
