The grass and trees/shrubs look very lush. Do you employ landscapers or tend the garden yourselves? My DH and I used to care for our front and rear yards for many years and enjoyed the work. About six years ago though,we thought it was time for us to hire gardening help. We have been in our home for thirty-nine years. We were a bit older than you and Pauline when we moved into the house though! MJ🙋🏻♀️ I am adding two views of our front yard with flowers in bloom. Waiting to see what they will look like this year. The Spring has been a bit chilly, so the blooms may be a bit delayed. Very beautiful ,MJ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauline likes to do the garden. I used to but my severe arthritis prevents me now. I used to pay her sister weekly to do all of the gardening until they cut ties with their daughter our Sarah, Pauline,me,her brother and her late mam 7 years ago. I didn't realize that Sarah is your niece, Graham!❤️ Life is too short...my youngest sister doesn't talk to me either. Her loss. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just very frustrated and very angry at the endless circle of violence in our region, where absolutely no one on both sides values life and is looking for a "modus vivendi".... Tomorrow we had a reservation to celebrate our DS2 40th anniversary. It will have to wait. I really hope that this "circle" will end soon, and I'll be back continuing my pics from our last trip.

I hope it stays that way. we have enough with mass killings. we have to continue to pray for a peaceful world. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry to hear that. Paulines childhood home where her brother still lives had fields behind it but there is several hundred houses there now.
