I do like the topiary style you’ve chosen and it works perfectly as a focal point now putting your wires right into the background :-D<br /><br />You must be very pleased with your handywork! Ha-ha… I suspect now you’ve done this once you’ll get the bug and do it again :-D<br /><br />No, I’ve never tried this myself but I have put plants and structures in a spot to mask something else quite often. <br /><br /><i>Thanks - Wishing you a very Happy Autumn too :-D</i>Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12956905954971466579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-30158511322930110932014-09-25T10:31:12.409-04:002014-09-25T10:31:12.409-04:00Lisa,
