\"IMG_0195<\/a>I love having my privacy but I also love having space between my molecules. I just pruned back a few miles of coleus, ligustrum and arbicola from the front yard. I cut everything down low so I can see the street from my room for the first time in years. It makes it feel as though I have so much more space! I still have privacy from the street but can see everything. I even took down the drapes, blinds and blackout curtains. \u00a0Right now I see the neighbors on their sundown walk and the raccoon family wobbling out of the east woods.\u00a0I positioned the outdoor lights so they fall on the critter path, so we can watch the nightly procession. \u00a0Across the street is a privacy fence, so no one else is in view. I love living in the midst of a neighborhood yet apart in my own little jungle of gardens and trails. Only in Paradise is Christmas week a sunny 80 degrees, lows of 55.<\/p>\n
