(I know, sounds like I'm trash talkin') Those urns definitely have to stay, I'm with Justin. Update: your mom and I drove past that yard last night.

This is EXACTLY like the secret garden. Bill - Gardens that age gracefully are the best. The trick is to distinguish between well aged and unloved, but those that pull it off are brilliant. JustinS - It's true, they're really required. Crissy – You totally GET me. I love that. This is EXACTLY like the secret garden.

Anyone who's seen my front yard knows it; start with a bunch of well-chosen and lovingly tended plants, let them reach their maturity, then ignore them for a decade or so. Whatever is left, that's my idea of nature in full glory. Think of the money saved on gardening tools, the callouses and blisters avoided. Give me gardening by procrastination any day. I think I know that house, by the way. I walk past it every week -- one of my favorites, too.

It was once something spectacular that had become overgrown when it's keeper aged and couldn't care for it any longer. My mother in law is very knowledgable about plants and gardening and was in HEAVEN going through this yard. There was a wonderful surprise around every corner and it was just begging to be uncovered and brought back to it's glory. It was a little bit sad and a little bit like being in The Secret Garden.
