Our Garden

The Bandy Garden... or Charlie's private loo.........

This is the view of our small garden from the closet, oh, sorry, middle bedroom of our flat. Is it not just beautiful?

Actually, our garden has only looked like this since May 3rd...it was my birthday present from RL! Hugs and kisses, sweetheart! You sure know how to put a dozen roses to shame.

Charlie put his four paws into this decision too, as his dirty feet coming in from playing was also a motivating factor.

The next two pictures are of the garden before the "upgrade." This was taken in October, 2006. The one below was taken in early 2007, when we had had no rain. Actually, it has been very dry here from October through May.

So, how does a bath tub fit into this story? The builders did not provide for an outside water spigot. This would have been so easy...pipes here don't have to be underground because nothing freezes.

To water our grass, we snake a hose from our guest bathroom, down the hall, and then out the "middle bedroom" patio door. Thank goodness it has begun to rain!

Our garden offers us something most unusual in this city, private green space. It is priceless. Thank you, again, RL. I will never forget this birthday present.
