Thanks Connelly and Jaime, we love our garden. The people who we bought our house from were very motivated and spent nine years building up this garden. Theres apple, asian pear, peach and cherry trees, blueberry shrubs, seedless flame grapes, 25 different kinds of Japanese maples, a creek with a bridge, many different shrubs and trees and tons of flowers that just suddenly appear all year round. We feel really lucky to have it. Our cats are in heaven and rarely leave the yard. The only problem is when Drake gets excited or chases Raccoons (he absolutely hates them), because he gets a bit destructive. We are going to try to get the garden into Sunset magazine, we'll see, they're pretty picky. I have lots of shots of Drake hanging around it so I'll send them soon if you want. Connelly, you doggies are beauties! We almost got a St. Bernard but opted to get a Newf. Maybe our next dog...
