Sounds beautiful MM'o. Two of my favourites, where there's room. I have less room, so I like my black-eyed susans, purple coneflowers and white obedients to wander.

My new fences are looking great. 75% finished. Much trampling on perennials and flowering currant bushes. Ugh.

Where the giant maple towered last year, covering 4 back yards, we'll replace with paper birch, hackberry and a yet undetermined evergreen.
