Those swans were cute - I love the fuzzy stage! There were so many fabulous gardens that I’ll have to go back to Stratford just for picture taking purposes.

I have a bit of a hard time leaving the neighbor’s plants and gardens alone sometimes too. Last week I started cleaning up the edge of my neighbor’s garden that serves as a boundary between our properties. Before I knew it, I’d done the edge all the way around and weeded the inside of the garden as well. Don’t mind doing the work for him as he’s 83. I talked to him later in the week and asked him not to be offended - I just couldn’t help myself! He laughed it off the same way he did when my four-year-old told him his “plants needed a big drink” and proceeded to help him water everything.

I checked out your blog. It looks great and I love the name! I’ll be adding you to my blogroll and subscribing to your feed so I can keep posted.

Thanks for stopping by,

Cathy

I wish my neighbors put that much thought and care into their gardens. I spent last night pruning my upstairs neighbor’s gigantic geranium that she hasn’t deadheaded or pruned in years. I finally couldn’t take it anymore and just did it myself. I doubt she’ll even notice.
