C-O-D-E-R-E-D

Another of my friends who is a home enthusiast, Luna Herr, lives in a Spanish U-shaped adobe house atop an inland California foothill. Red tile roof, Terra-cot ta courtyard, and semiarid foliage create an exotic aura. But to the rear, adjacent to the pen pasturing Sigmund the Goat, Luna has created a blossoming utopia. A fenced rose garden, replete with meandering brick pathway, unusual bird feeders and houses, and a labyrinth of colorful flowers, accentuates the contrast in landscape. Her philosophy is based on an old English proverb: “Tickle it with a hoe, and it will laugh into a harvest.”
Jane and Luna are part of a flourishing trend of home owners indulging their personal whimsies by using them to create a private outdoor paradise.
