This is the hedge at the Goose, the one where I transplanted some privet (for privacy) and then realized about half of it was spirea. Sigh. Maybe you can understand why I wanted to block out the former beer store building, now a quilter's center. Too bad I wasn't looking closely at the plants.
Looks like Bear has recently mowed, however. Last night I had a dream that he came to visit the big city, and I picked him up at the Newark airport and showed him the tall buildings in the distance while waiting interminably (in terminal) to be served breakfast at a diner. He and the waitress were making fun of me for being a Vassar girl. Bear staked the sorry tomatoes also. I mean in real life.
Frank snapped this photo of the lawn for me. He said, "As a chessboard, it looks like the king, a few pawns, and castles at either end. You're about checkmated."
I had to take Chinchilla's foal to the vet (Roger) yesterday, & on my way home Bear was strolling thru your yard at The Goose. I think he was just admiring his handiwork. I slowed & yelled "Hello" to him, but had a car right on my bumper & couldn't stop. Imagine that: of all the times for Thomasville to become congested, it's when I wanted to stop & talk to Bear!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Foal is fine.
P.P.S. When are you coming to The Goose? F says it will be before the end of July?
I'd love to come with her.
ReplyDeleteI miss you, Frank and all things Missouri.
As far as the hedges go, maybe transplant some bayberry or privot from B.I.
P.P.S.S. Who's coming w/you & how long will you stay?
ReplyDeleteMy plans are uncertain due to my father's health and K's aspiration to audition for The Voice.
ReplyDeleteSo far, I have bought a one-way ticket (not on the midnight train) to Atlanta.
Will be in Alabama for a week or so and then hopefully to the Goose. So far solo, though Certain Parties (see above) are murmuring.
Me. CBA. I have feathers on the brain.
ReplyDeleteEleagnus. That will make a nice privacy hedge. Fast growth, evergreen , sun or shade but faster growth in full sun
ReplyDeleteYou can check it out when next in AL.
Do those quilters raise a ruckus late at night?
