I can identify with the cat thing. Our next door neighbor has a cat that lives to hunt. I encourage wildlife. The little garter snake that used to sun itself on my cement step? Gone: last seen writhing in the cat's jaws. Several cardinals and assorted fledglings? Also taken by that cat. I have a dog, but she never strays off our property. Doesn't seem fair, does it?

Beautiful vignette, so lush!
Mentioning the bunnies is interesting. After I moved from Chicago a new development was built and all the rabbits that had lived on the land invaded the neighborhood gardens. Seems they decimated perennial plantings, etc. I take it 'John' does not experience the same thing?
And good for you... out for a run! I need to move from here into the sunshine for a good long walk.

Wendy: I am also a little shy to talk to the strangers even they are my neighbours. There are several houses in my neighbourhood have very lovely front yard, and I always wanted to talk to the owners. But I don't have the courages to knock their door to talk, hope someday I can see them working in the front yard. Meeting the people nearby who shares the same gardening interests is sure a beautiful thing!

So cool that you're meeting folks this way! I keep thinking about it, ever since I saw that first post you made about neighbors' gardens.... but I'm too shy to just walk up and talk to someone. Go you, for having the guts to do it! It'll be so neat for you to have gardening friends in your area to chat with and share with.
