Bill's Garden at Gateway



There are many different gardens around Gateway and it really wouldn’t be fair to say one is the best but a resident, Bill, has spent a lot of time and years growing his garden in the courtyard of building T. I thought I had a picture of when it only had the fan palm tree against the back of the elevator but I don’t so you will have to imagine how it looked before he started to work on it. 

Among the plants, bushes and trees there is a bird bath and his neighbor John added a bird house along with some beautiful wood carvings. At any time of the day you will see butterflies, birds, resident cats (who leave the birds alone in the garden), lizards, squirrels among other of Mother Nature’s creatures.

Whether looking at the garden from the street, from either side or the back it is just a peaceful part of your day. And rest assured there will be additions and changes continuously!

My ONLY objection to where I live now is the long cold winter. Down there would be the opposite: I'd have to spend too many months indoors. It would be in the summer instead of the winter, but the result is the same.

If you follow the weather reports we are usually cooler (not cool-cooler) than most of the country from June to October except, maybe, for August and the humidity. That's okay--we don't need any more people moving here!

Looks like a fine place to live! If not for the heat and the neighborhood.

The neighborhood is great! As far as the heat goes everyone is in their a/c home/car/restaurant/movie/mall--everyone wears/carries a sweater heer in the summertime!
