Splash of Color

 

They cut down our big pine tree.  Our shade. Our privacy.

The poor tree was past it's best -

But, I miss it already.   The yard feels so naked now... 

The same week the tree disappeared, the association sent out new 

rules to follow.  Just what we need more rules-

No decorations in the common area 

(which is everywhere except your patio),

No rock gardens, solar lights, wind chimes, bug zappers, fountains

Absolutely no birdfeeders whatsoever, etc.  

& the list goes on (and on and on). 

Enough rules to make us all go crazy.

I just don't understand the logic to having so many rules.

(I'm most annoyed that I had to take down my birdfeeder. 

I love watching the birds & they love our top quality bird seed.  

What's the worst thing a birdfeeder can bring?  

A squirrel or something?  I like them too.)

Never fear though.  We're fighting the nakedness (& the absurd rules) with a 

little splash of color from the smallest container garden ever 

(that doesn't extend past our patio).
