Not In My Neighborhood

I am not trying to start a debate . I am just giving you something to think about.
I laughed out loud when I saw the front yard of this modest little home last Spring. Mainly because it is actually in the same neighborhood where I was walking past all of those mansions just a few blogs ago. You see, most of our neighborhoods have pretty strict neighborhood associations ....and rules about what you can and can't do, especially in your front yard.

Then the more I thought about it....I decided this person is growing healthy food. It for some reason just happens to be in the front yard!

  1. I love this sweet little house with it's veggie garden out front Janey.. We see that here too, along the beach front, the odd o!d beachshack between two mansions, j'adore individuality..

  4. This is not a common practice in St. Paul, but occasionally I see a yard with veggies. One of our newspaper featured several homes last year that had elaborate lawn gardens, one of which was designed by a local nursery!

  5. Dearest Janey,
    Well, here the last sentence from Gone with the Wind fits perfectly: 'Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn...'
    That's what the owner must have thought and it is only fun for being able to have a good laugh. It puts things in perspective for us to see what really is important in life!
    Sending you hugs,
    Mariette
