I’m extremely grateful, a friend sent me the first two pictures.

I took pride in this yard. In my humble opinion, it was a “showplace”!! Now (imho) it looks “forlorn.” By comparison, my living conditions have escalated from shabby to spectacular; from the nasty landlady to a very conscientious considerate landlord. ~~ Please forgive me for earlier doom and gloom blog messages.

Then & now.
