It's just amazing what you and your team of wonderful helpers have done to a quite ordinary yard! Changing the house color made a huge difference, sort of saying "I'm awake" without being pushy or overpowering. You've kept good records, unlike some of us (me). I like the stone, brick and fences that compliment your plant selections. Can you tell us what effect all this has had on your neighborhood? Enthusiastic gardeners usually inspire others into action.
