Or maybe just defensive. :) The natural look is certainly an easier one to maintain...<br /><br />klbrowser--With all the moisture you get, I could see the bugs being a problem. Ewwww, indeed! I didn't buy the syrup. :) Hopefully that young man will be able to save a lot of money from here on out, too. <br /><br />Zoe--It took us so long to realize we were talking at cross-purposes! It's that pesky word "forest"--just doesn't compute in the same way out here. You're right--the knowledge just doesn't count, somehow, without actual experience to make sense of it.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08297253093260251145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534450478022541384.post-45834754747713312262010-12-30T06:30:44.326-07:002010-12-30T06:30:44.326-07:00Ha!

It's amazing how a landscape isn't real, no matter how many pictures you've seen, until you're standing there in it, processing what's around you. Glad you both worked through it and came to an understanding :)Zoehttp://pearledearth.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534450478022541384.post-75059698600928593192010-12-30T00:18:15.516-07:002010-12-30T00:18:15.516-07:00Alas, Dan must rake because if he leaves too many ...Alas, Dan must rake because if he leaves too many leaves on the ground in our yard (pun intended), we get oodles of rot and icky insects that far outnumber their natural predators. I wouldn't mind the insects so much if they would just stay outdoors, but they like to come in and visit me. Ewwww.<br /><br />But if you don't need to rake, fallen leaves do have a natural charm.<br /><br />Please tell me you DIDN'T buy that syrup, lol.klbrowserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01969885665210889638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534450478022541384.post-22759966365031573702010-12-29T22:35:20.829-07:002010-12-29T22:35:20.829-07:00Such a rebel!

I try to let the natural side of me win.Shellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03068094486297918345noreply@blogger.com
