It's Rhododendron Time!

Near the local recreation centre is a rhododendron grove that I love to visit at this time of year, and I recently enjoyed showing some friends the huge bushes. This week the bush beside my patio began to flower and another beside the neighbouring building was just glorious.

I love my view of the garden and the fact that I am within walking distance of everything I need. A few months after I moved in, my nearby neighbours had a falling out that caused a bit of commotion around their patio and in…
