what's this called?
The row of trees that line a long drive. Think Tuscany with cypress
trees. I read maybe it's "paree" with an accent on one of those e's, but that doesn't sound too Italian. French invention? |

I'm unhappy to report that I now have a half gnome all=E9e after my
friend backed over a whole row of the hostas after coming home from last night's Cubs game. Pat Kiewicz wrote: Merle O'Broham said: Thanks (again) Pat.
