Too bad, because basketball coaches the world over were wanting her number! ;-) If you look at what is possible, living in those areas, you'll find they are quite amenable to looking great. But I hear you - living in a desert is not everyone's cup of tea. Yeah, Donna, some lady left that bra beside the highway, I guess.

Thanks for dropping by. Heidi does landscaping and design work, too in Wisconsin. Her site is full of interesting notions and she is an old acquaintance here and the forum. Click on her name to get there. The "no lawn" look is making huge strides and, frankly, I back it 100%. Yes on the radical, motorcycle motif on men mowing their lawns. The thing is, it smells great, it's outdoors, it's your (customizable) machine - and there's probably beer after. It's really a no brainer. The forum is sleepy, dear. We seem to have lost all the "cat people" from Annette's site in a weird run of internet-only behavior and are basically starting over. I refuse to give it up, however, and am ready to welcome a new generation of garden-lovers. Hi Heidi!! Thanks for dropping by. Heidi does landscaping and design work, too in Wisconsin.
