Omigosh Ginger, what kind of snake is that?!! Is that poisonous? I like snakes, but I think finding a big one like that in my garden would freak me out! I used to catch and keep garter snakes when I was a kid.

Thank you for the compliments. I'm super happy about my wheelbarrow - it is my sop to the neighborhood so that they have something pretty to look at while the lawn dies. I think it's serving its function - that's all anyone talks about! ;-)

We finally got a new gardener, and he and his partner spent 3 hours mowing, edging, and clearing the "meadow" of weeds in the backyard. The front looks so much better mowed and edged. Keeping it neat, tidy, edged, and weed-free is part of our "Don't Bring Down the Neighborhood" kill-the-lawn plan!
