Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Agreed, fab photos Jim, thank you.
And that bougainvillea too! :shock: :shock:

Perfect homes, rock landscaping, and specimens.
Everything looks so neat and tidy.
Sure beats the "lawns" look any day.

Gorgeous, that'd be one bumpy ride.
Any fillings left in your teeth? :lol:

Re wondering about home, too bad your neighbor hasn't got a security camera.
You could access his pics to see your yard.

Bet your stuff is fine with all the protection work/changes you've done.
At least, hope so.
