It's nice when a couple can split up and do their own thing when their have different interests that don't quite overlap! Then everyone wins! <br /><br />That garden is so beautiful! That's so cool that your friend is so involved! What a great way to give back to her neighborhood. I love shared green spaces in cities. Proximity to a park is something that really matters to us when we are looking for our next home because we know our yard will be really small and likely won't have room for a play set. So being able to walk to a local park will be important! Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.com
