They are planted with such precision and spacing and with an eye for height and width and precisely in lines with never a weed. The king who owned the gardens of Versailles didn't have it as good as we do here.

Driving down the roads of my home town and seeing the beautiful flowers, always changing and seeing the pristine streets and looking at the golf carts of every color and hue....I know how lucky I am to be here.
Lovely, Gracie! Couldn't have said it better myself!
