My daughter and I went out to play. At the end she drove by the cottages around a lake by her house, almost all of which are adorable and beautifully maintained. There's one place, on a hill, that has the most wonderful, garden, at least the part we can see from the road. When we walk around there, we alway stop and admire it.
Well, today the man who lives there was outside. I told my daughter I had to get out and talk to him...so I did. I told him how much we loved his garden. He thanked me, with a shy smile. We talked for a few minutes, then I got back into the car.
He called out and said, "Hey do you want to see the back?" OMG My daughter parked and he gave us the tour of his yard. So much work, but lovely. Flowers I've never seen before. He said his wife picks things out and he does the work.
The garden is lush, crowded, and most of the plants are mature, so it's truly wonderful. He has surprises, here and there, with bird fences and trinkets all over the place. Unusual pieces that fit in perfectly.
So, after a few years of guessing what the yard looked like, we were fortunate enough to get a guided tour.
Perfect ending to a perfect day.
