It's A Jungle Out There

Our friends and neighbors directly across the street from us moved about a month ago, well they sort of moved. They are renting a home 1 1/2 hours away and keeping their home here too. A few years back, they bought their 12 year old daughter Danielle a horse and they've been traveling "down south" a couple times each week for Danielle to ride, train, and care for her horse. After doing this for about 2 years, they decided to rent a place "for one year" and let Danielle go to school with her friends there. Being that the housing market in CA is in the toilet, they're keeping their home for now.

These neighbors have a gorgeous home and are always doing something to make it better, making it even more beautiful than it already is. Their home is immaculate, inside and out, so that's why we laugh each time we look out our front windows. Little do they know, they've got a jungle growing in their front yard...


A jungle full of fresh flowers...


Well actually they do know they've got a jungle going on as they were home yesterday to pick up some stuff and to check on the house. They gave my husband some direct instructions...

TELL LINDA TO CUT SOME FLOWERS!

AS MANY AS SHE WANTS!!

LOTS AND LOTS OF FLOWERS!


Aren't they beautiful! I think we'll be having fresh cut flowers around here for days to come!

Thank you Jeff and Stacey!
