Tucson really is a nice place to live, but like every larger city, there are parts that we tend to look past:)Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-71846652902700049462010-10-13T14:49:26.814-07:002010-10-13T14:49:26.814-07:00Wow, you've painted a very ugly (and scary) pi...Wow, you've painted a very ugly (and scary) picture of Tucson. I think now I would never like to visit there. But perhaps it is no different than any big city. Bless the suburbs and small towns! However, I must admit my first house in a small-town, working-class neighborhood situated me next door to a shoddy rental house, which had a succession of ne'er-do-wells, including drug addicts, drug dealers, squalor-dwellers, and prostitutes. Ugh. I couldn't wait to move. Took eight years. Many years later, in 2004, a hurricane destroyed the house, and the owner/landlord was able to use insurance payouts to fix it up and sell it. It is now a beautiful yellow and white cottage with lovely landscaping! Amazing transformation. (Sorry for that tangent.)<br /><br />Anyway, so glad than you can find refuge in your lovely garden. Perhaps you should try bougainvillea hedges instead of oleander.... ; )Floridagirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16357453320897720393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-69577435757858406172010-10-13T09:47:27.904-07:002010-10-13T09:47:27.904-07:00You are doing a difficult job of creating your own...You are doing a difficult job of creating your own little oasis in that area. I hope you have continued success with your plantings. It can be frustrating when people just "put up" with their conditions instead of trying to improve them. <br />Keep up the good work!Chloe mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265196480664185330noreply@blogger.com
