The above photos are fall views of our yard. Mom and I think there are some beautiful colors in the yard this year. Notice especially the Amur Maple next to the waterfall hill. What a beautiful red. We like it so much we went out yesterday and bought another one. They are both Amur Maple bushes. We want an Amur Maple tree for the front yard, and we have begun the search.
Well if you can imagine this as one page, then this is the article from the Westwind Weekly. Unfortunately it was almost 14 MB and I couldn't download it onto the blog without chopping the page in half. But as you can read they made it sound way better than it probably is. We were awarded a plaque and $25.00 from the Town of Raymond and a $25.00 gift certificate from the Raymond Pharmacy. Not bad for a couple of "Do it as you go" gardeners who most likely had no clue what they were doing or what the end result would be most of the time.Now for all the goldfish fans out there. We bought a large clear plastic tub yesterday and talked to the fish guy at our favorite pet store, and we are now seriously prepared to try and save the goldfish this year. If we can do this, they just keep getting bigger each year. Now we're safe from all the animal rights activists.
That's so great, don't downplay it so much, you guys do a great job on your yard. It is beautiful, I too really like you amour maple bushes, such a nice red! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI agree. You've come a long way from the horse pasture and greenhouses, and you deserve the recognition after so many long hours of hard labor, not mention mowing lawns. I think it's great that Jeanie nominated you. We love the pics and miss being able to enjoy the peace of your beautiful yard with you. Congratulations!
