I wake to the sweet scent of something familiar but can't put my finger on it, so I go outside to investigate.

When I parked the previous evening, I hadn't payed much attention to what surrounded me. Sure, it was a nice neighborhood, but being tired from the drive I just parked the van and went immediately to bed.

After stepping out of the van and much to my surprise, I'm greeted by a most wonderful garden located just across the street. It is exceptionally huge, taking up at least 4 extra lots. Everything seems to be in bloom and bursting at peak color. This is the nicest homeowner garden I have ever seen. These folks sure have at least a green thumb and I'd bet probably a few more digits are green as well judging by all the hard work they've put into their yard.

So I got to thinking, wouldn't it be nice to tell them about my photo shoot. So with pencil and paper in hand, I write them a note and placed it on their porch with my card. I take care to not show their house number to respect their privacy. I hope I hear from them, I'd love to learn more about the history of their garden.
