Sue, I enjoyed looking at all your pictures and the transformation of your yard. Very sorry to hear about the accident. I hope you have made a full recovery. I love the rose South Africa and the combination of roses and clematis together. The recycled satellite dish is such a wonderful idea!
I live on 1/2 acre on a city lot and wish I could do what you are doing, but I am afraid my husband would not go for it! He needs some grass to mow
