I feel like putting a little note in their mail boxes telling them they are devaluing the homes and making the streetscape poor. Do you think they would care? I spend more time working on the outside than i do on housework inside. That's just the kinda girl i am. Thanks for your visit Harry.

You have a lot of plants and animals we don't have here in the Blue Ridge mountains. That's always interesting to me, especially the lizards.

Also to answer your question about the flower collage at the end of my post. I did it using Paint Shop Pro. It's a program I have been using for several years and I always go back to it for a lot of things.

Plant growth is faster and there is no evaporation so water usage is lower. Great for droughts or people on limited water. In comparison to normal beds the plants perform 50% better. Better still, the beds are high so no bending over.

Now you are not going to believe this, we are about 10.000 miles from you and we have just bought the same statue, the only difference ours is in stone, I will post a photo later in the week. We paid 25 euros for ours, I tried to beat him down but he wouldn't budge on the price. The seller says it's a copy of a famous French sculpture, he called it 'Mother and Child' I shall try to Google some info on it.

They look beautiful in spring and during our Carnival of Flowers it is lovely to see the different coloured ones in the parks and gardens. We have one of the darker ones and lots of the normal orange coloured ones. Now that I think about it I think we bought a yellow one last year at a Carnival garden.
