Little does he know it's just out of the fear of snakes and critters creeping 'round and hiding under things! I don't even have bugs of any kind. Needless to say, I like things neat but do so love to see the properties of those who do love gardens of flowers and lovely landscaping textures up around the home and far out back of it. We have a neighbor in the next block who has the loveliest example of an English country cottage, beds of flowers, lovely shrubs, interesting trees, a little wicker cart of seasonals, stone bunny trio sitting amidst her monkey grass patch, ivy growing up 2 trees and a prettier place you've never seen. She has no blinds, frilly white Priscillas at all the windows and shutters in the windows rarely shut. At night, you can see in every room! They are out working in the yard a lot or having tea in one of their gardens. Jilly & I and now Tibbe & I always visit her and enjoy her lovely home and yard. But I'll bet she's got garden snakes & critters around aplenty!

I'll bet all the snakes moved from your yard to hers! Too funny!
