7:45 AM 58 degrees, wind NW, moderate. The channel is crawling, with some white caps. The sky is blue and the barometer predicts mostly sunny weather. A fine day!Landscaping is at its best an artistic expression of a relationship with nature, and can take many forms: simple, complex; native, cultural; allegorical, abstract: one could use most of the idioms of the art world in describing landscapes. However, once a theme is chosen, it is very difficult to mix landscape styles.
There is a little cottage behind an older home on the corner of Ninth and Manypenny that has several window boxes full of petunias and is flanked by some old Hydrangea bushes, which makes a very pleasing statement. It is simple, straightforward, unassuming and quite pleasant. It is an example of doing a few good things in a tasteful and balanced manner, to an excellent effect.
My neighbor is out and about in his back yard in camouflage pajamas! If some misfortune befell him in the wilds of his domain, would anyone ever find him?
