Notes from here and there

I expanded my Lazy Person's Garden after receiving some lovely gifts. That low fence is only a psychological barrier. DL knows he is not allowed to weed-whack the bluebells, roses, and fireweed that grow within, and the dogs don't step over it either. De fence is sufficient defense. :D
