AFTER ALL THAT TENDER CLIPPING AND GENTLE GROOMING I gave you all those years, this is what I get in return? Oh, dear doodler Andre Jordan, I ask you, what went wrong?

Well I guess you trimmed one too many branches.

When my wife and I finally get our new house which currently has a very small brick wall running around it, I think we might have a ‘leave us alone’ topiary hedge. Or maybe a ‘www.abeautifulrevolution.com’ topiary hedge – I’m sure my wife wouldn’t mind.

I agree, I hate uninvited visitors when I garden. Except for birds, bees, butterflies, etc. Only exception, I’ll break for compliments.

Hi, Andre! (Hi, Margaret – I’ve been reading/lurking for several months – finally decided to comment…)
My garden club meets this Sunday – at my house this month – and (this is kinda Twilight-zoney) one item on our agenda is watching the movie “A Man Named Pearl” – a wonderfully inspiring documentary about self-taught topiary artist Pearl Fryar. If you haven’t yet seen it, you must!
Margaret, I look forward to your blog every day and Thursdays here are especially fun because of your posts, Andre – thanks for the smiles you both bring to me!

Welcome, CovingtonKat. Yes, Pearl Fryar is AMAZING (as is Andre). Just amazing. Thanks for mentioning. I am so glad for all your good words, and your incessant lurking, Do continue all said behavior. :)

Ha ha Andre! I wish I could just let topiaries talk for me sometimes :)
