More Wild Kingdom (in my extended garden)
We all live with neighbors who are near or far, depending on circumstances. They may have an unruly child, a loud dog, a beautiful car, or a lovely garden.

As I went back to my office, I almost felt my roses were boring by comparison ... but not quite! There are about 50 coming out on the bushes here.
Cheers,
