• A lot of effort goes into making your garden look lush and green. Ensure that you water right, pluck out weeds and use organic fertilizer. There is a water shortage in several states of the US and quiet a few States have clear cut directions on when you can water your garden and for how long. The BeWaterWise website has some great tips on Xeriscaping please read and follow them to - http://www.bewaterwise.com/knowledge01.html

• Seriously though-what kinda ornaments are in your yard? (Besides sprinklers and lawn chairs. Man I'd love to be there-stupid frozen Canadian wastelands.)

• "stupid frozen Canadian wastelands" = Well, I'd say that *you* bring a bit of warmth to our northern neighbors?

  Our 1st real downpour lasted ~36 hours last week. And of course, the raingutters got jammed up with leaves quickly because some lazy asshole didn't think about anticipating rain? I have three trees that tower over the house, between 50 and 80 feet tall. They got *lotsa* leaves!

  No "ornaments", per se, outside of two plaster birdbaths about 4' tall. They have three nude women holding hands all around. I bought them to frame my swimming pool in that last (huge) house shared with #4. I just gave 'em away last month.

• [Addendum: That's the front yard. Out back I've a redwood deck with table, chairs, etc. and my Weber collection! There's a perfect place to install a hot tub, which *is* on my 'list. You can't see inside from outside the house; completely surrounded by rose (and other) bushes.]

• Sorry lol. I went to bed. it was like, late. Or something. But yeah, your yard sounds awesome. 90 feet tall trees? Do you have any of those Sleeping Willow trees? If I ever get a yard, I want some of those in it.

• Yeah - I was crackin' myself up with the above last night!
  I saw that you hadn't written anything in an hour and it was, like, 3 a.m., so I figured you went to bed and I could crack myself up by writing the above. And it worked!
  [I'll tell ya', Sym = sometimes it takes very little for me to amuse the crap outta myself!]

  BTW: when I said "#4" above about my last house, I meant wife #4. And a dog, cat and four birds, two uncaged. It was a 'happy' (what's that?!) 'family'.

• "Sleeping Willow trees" (or "Weeping Willow"?) =
  Yeah, they're one of my favourites too! There's plenty around here, but not on my 'acrage'! The middle sized tree in the front yard (about 50 feet) has purple leaves; it's pretty. The really large one is common to the area. I've heard it's name several times, but have never remembered it. Besides the three big ones, there's two plum trees. I've always had lemon trees in other houses and miss them. Another thing I gotta do = get off my ass and plant one!

  Oh, yeah! How'd you guess? I put away the better part of a fifth of Bushmills last night, along with other 'treats'.
  [such a foolish child at times. But the tune-box was jammin' and I felt waaay too good to waste it all on sleeping?!]

• WOW... DRed for answering Yes. GEEZE!
  And if it's because I think my wife has done a wonderful job... I'm disabled and can't. I mow (riding mower), but she does the rest.
