Toni - did you use to have 2 crepe myrtles? I like them, except for the fact that the blossoms are everywhere once they start falling.
Hetty - I got my rocks from the neighbor across the street who was doing a grand remodeling of his backyard. There were rocks surrounding his pool, but he wanted them out. So, guess who got them?
He was even kind enough to move them over to my yard for me. If you look at some of the rocks, you can see where the water line was.
Much of my landscaping is shaped by what I can get for free.......
