It went all around us and it is so dry.<br />Wow, what a terrific front yard your mother-in-law has. It is just beautiful. One thing about it the more you plant the less you have to mow Jim. LOL! I tell my son this all of the time. When I grab the shovel he just shakes his head.<br />That must be one big peony. You will have to show it to all of us next spring.Lonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07060003333138052194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697025858360692792.post-83819658437841941262010-09-13T22:43:08.696-05:002010-09-13T22:43:08.696-05:00Jim - what a great front yard, somewhere in Elmhur...Jim - what a great front yard, somewhere in Elmhurst!
