Middle Aged Love Quotes & Sayings

The way to get a deciduous hedge for free is to ask a neighbor to let you take divisions from his shrubs.

Thank him profusely and suggest that you'd love to have him and the wife over to dinner sometime, but don't give a specific date. Perhaps in the winter, you might suggest, when there's not so much work to do in the yard.
