My friends need a tree for their front garden, and I went with them. I got a great selection of blue, purple, pink and white flowers for two container plantings that are now adorning my front steps.

Choosing a tree is a big decision - you and your neighbors have to live with it for a long, long time. So while they sorted that out, I had lots of time to spend with the turtles and the koi in the decorative pond.

A really good set TIM927 · 2007-07-01: 12:12

You have made the simplest event an adventure for all of us - thanks. That turtle slipping away was almost hard to see initially but I like it - it seems so odd with the reflection of the cloud. ????? · 2007-07-10: 23:22
