It looks me pretty stylish and fun. Do I have to have featured stories or can I have featured pages? So thanks for sharing such a awesome post with us.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://bestheatedjackets.com/best-heated-jacket/" rel="nofollow">best heated jacket</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18246100947649486807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-29763011975698528492018-01-10T15:15:07.691-08:002018-01-10T15:15:07.691-08:00My pleasure, Peter!

Love the vantage point of the first photo.<br /><br />Luisa -- I asked Hoov the very same question about keeping the koi safe. I believe the koi are safe because raccoons can't negotiate very straight-sided ponds. They like an incline to wade in, and Hoov's pond is steep and straight.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13048985060349929026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-80411019012286891562018-01-06T09:46:10.410-08:002018-01-06T09:46:10.410-08:00What a fabulous post, you lucky dog!

Her garden is what I can only hope mine may resemble when it matures - HB has a 10 year head start on me so my fingers are crossed.<br /><br />HB, I fear the Dorycnium is going to swallow those aloes!
