(((Hi GW))
You know...I was working my tale off all spring and part of the summer till we moved. I had 100's of strawberry's planted, had planted no telling how many shrubs and trees/flowers (things I could reproduce/or would reproduce) in my own yard, had done some landscaping.......and Poof, walked off and left it to die in the summer heat of Arkansas. The funny thing is, my corkscrew willow trees lived, well ...most of the trees did, along with a few of the shrubs. (They did get some rain)
We still have our place there, but getting someone to go and water everything was not in the asking. Everyone has a busy life, so Yes, I cried over all my hard work, but I knew it was coming too..."N" had left for Auburn in Feb, so I planted to keep myself very busy....
It looked so pretty.....
I'm eyeballing this yard here, but with renting I don't want to put money into someone else's yard and then walk off to leave it later on down the road either....I figure I will do so anyways, nothing like pretty roses and shrubs to look at....
I haven't mentioned this yet, but I'm...umm, homeschooling the boys here. People around here think its for religous reasons....

but that wasn't behind my decision. So, I'm thinking this spring that it would be a great outdoor activity for the three of us to do, besides...they are great helpers!
