Hubby and I flew home for most of the month of December. We wanted to see the grandkids in their school programs, have Christmas with family, and if the weather cooperated, travel to see friends and family.

Monday morning frosty trees
No SNOW!
Tuesday morning the perennial flower bed
We have been notified the city will be maintaining the wash behind our triplex. This is my perennial flower bed...on the city's right-of-way, which I knew when I created the flower bed. The neighbor graciously removed the planter/bird feeder hook and my decorative wheel before we arrived. But after a discussion with some men who were simply delivering a message and not the guys making a decision,
Hubby and I removed the rocks that I have collected from our various adventures while geocaching or traveling. In that mix are the two rocks I brought back from a 2000 trip to Italy and Greece! There is also a brick from the school where Hubby taught and was principal. We also removed all the landscaping blocks I had placed three years ago. I dug out 2 plants as I was told Tuesday morning our area would be plowed and planted with grass. It wasn't. So maybe I'll be able to keep my flower bed????
