My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Little Hostas-sing-a-long

18 years ago

This morning I woke up with the song "Little Boxes" stuck in my head. As I sipped my coffee and stared out the window humming the tune I slowly changed the words. Everybody SING-A-LONG!

"Little Hostas"

Little hostas in the shadows

little hostas make me wicky-wacky

little hostas little hostas

little hostas none the same

Theres a green one and a striped one

and a blue one and a chartreuse one

and they all do make me wicky-wacky

and none of them look the same

And the people in their gardens

all go to the many nurseries

and they all buy up the hostas

little hostas none the same

and theres Wide Brim and theres Whirlwind

and Great Expectations too

and they all do make me wicky-wacky

when I dont remember names

And they all need too much water

and get just the morning sun

and they need plenty of the mulch

so their roots stay nice and cool

and the voles come and the nematodes

and dont forget the deer and slimy slugs

and they all eat up the hostas

and they never look the same

But we make our too long wish list

and dig up green grass for more new beds

and we all buy pretty hostas

little hostas none the same

Theres a green one and a striped one

and a blue one and chartreuse one

and they all do make me wicky-wacky

but I love them just the same.
