A busy, and often beautiful year.
Such lovely photos. Kaya is beautiful as is your garden. I can but assume that your neighbor's reason for objecting to it was that it's not formal. How sad to be so controlling, so willing to create friction for a trifle. In my neighborhood, I'm happy just to look out and not see any street campers.
She doesn't like all my tall flowers and then some of them I keep up for the birds to eat the seeds. She claims it devalues the neighborhood. We do have a strict neighborhood association but gardens are not forbidden.
Kaya is an all black German Shepherd. She has a very strong herding instinct and is happy only if her family members are in a tight group. Their last shepherd didn't have this instinct though was tennis ball obsessed.
