there is much i miss about the west - one of the things is sand and
drainage. i do like my hostas and rhodies though which we didn't have in
the southwest. washington and oregon are really beautiful - the best of
both worlds as far as i can tell. donna

Oh... okay, I could tell it was built up, but looked very natural.

And you know.... actually my koi ponds are at the lowest end, but there is
a house (my house) that blocks anything flowing towards it... plus we
rarely get that kind of rain, and sand drains well. ~ jan
