the rix mix

Gina's backyard, looking toward her house. The area I'm in is shadier than the photo, which was lightened a bit. It's a four-part yard. Deck next to the house, then a small grassy area fringed with flowers & shrubs. This is the "grove," with flagstone paths & brickwork patio with a picnic table, Wiccans would love it. Behind me is a "glen," a small wild area, a mini-woods covered with ground ivy, & a shed Gina doesn't use much. The houses on either side have ordinary grass yards.

There's a county-built fence at the edge of the property, beyond that a small creek flowing out of Kean University &, unfortunately, a noisy playground & park.

I visit this lovely scene many weekends to feed Gina's cats, a five minute walk.
