I agree with whomever said it...if they don't want people to admire the koi pond, they shouldn't have put it where it could be seen from the public sidewalk. And, who put this guy in charge anyway! I'm sorry that happened. Those sorts of encounters are hard to shake. <br /><br />On a happier note, I think the crocuses are charming, and I love that Willow Tree. It is very photogenic. Also the lichens stuff is pretty cool. <br /><br />I had a little luck with paper whites here one year, and the foliage continues to come up, but they haven't bloomed in quite sometime. I was okay with that once I realized I couldn't bear their aroma. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing!<br /><br />KelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918333902682601699.post-77064677656938095272015-04-11T22:34:40.584-04:002015-04-11T22:34:40.584-04:00Truly?

Some people are just crabs!<br /><br />Nice to see the daffs you planted are coming up. Probably next year they'll be a bit quicker, as this year they had to put down roots and stuff. Kel lives in southern California? Daffodils won't grow where there's no 'winter' unless they're grown in pots and kept in the fridge overwinter!<br /><br />Maybe you should plant some snowdrops or glory-in-the-snow (I can't think of their proper name just now but they're small blue VERY early flowers), or some hellebores to tide you over until daffodils and crocus bloom...<br /><br />The lichen is very cool looking! If you can get tiny bits off to plant without doing any damage to the fence I'd go for it - if the people are home you could ask first, but I don't see why they might object if you only want little bits, and you'd be getting it off the back/public side of the fence anyway. I have no idea how to grow it, though! It's cool up close, very pretty.<br /><br />The quilt is coming along nicely. Love the photo of Mo all comfy on his pillow, LOL!Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17248202844330247654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918333902682601699.post-67569121349844076432015-04-11T11:41:22.290-04:002015-04-11T11:41:22.290-04:00I love seeing around your neighborhood.

Ha! Wonder why he would care so much when it's not even his unless he has an agreement with the neighbors to stand guard. :) That lichen really is lovely. And the quilt is great. I can't imagine the time it takes to repair it. I'd be like the original maker, just sewing things together as I pleased, no measuring or making sure everything was just right.

I always feel sorry for people who feel like that. Some of the koi here are worth thousands of dollars, but he could certainly see that you and Mo were respectful and kind. What a bully.<br /><br />Daffodils are my favorite. I have met a person here who has tried for 10 years to get daffodils to grow here. For some reason they simply will not grow.<br /><br />Take care and loves and hugs to Mo.<br /><br />HunterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
