We were in the front yard planting peppers and tomatoes this morning when a woman walked by and commented on our front yard. It turns out she lives most of the year in Paris. Don't have a clue why she is in dry Central CA when the other option is north central France, but we talked about the flowers and plantings. She said she loved the flowers and when told they were Sweet Peas, she repeated the name over and over to remember the name in English. She commented that the garden reminded her of her Grandmother's. Regardless of what country you are speaking of, mentioning "Grandmother's Garden" and yours in the same breath is a fine compliment.
Adding more frosting, this afternoon a local gentleman rode by on his bike and stopped to comment on the "garden the whole town talks about."
Doesn't get much better.
