After living in the country for 30 years, we found a home we loved in Bowling Green at the corner of
Grove and Court streets. It’s a very special place with the brick street along one side. We’ve enjoyed
spending the last year working on the house and in the yard. It’s an easy walk to the stores,
restaurants and our church and who wouldn’t love living so close to the library. It has been a pleasure
meeting and visiting with our neighbors and all the walkers, dog walkers and joggers that pass by and
comment on our place or on our dog Frankie. It has made us realize what we missed living in the country.

The only down side we’ve experienced is that several items have gone missing from our yard. They include
birdhouses that we hung on our fence and one that sat atop a pillar in our flower bed, a metal figure of
a girl and just Sunday morning, a bird feeder hanging from our trellis was gone.
These are items that we’ve found, fixed and painted to add to our landscape. I especially take great
pleasure in working to make our yard unique. I find it difficult to understand how anyone can think it
is OK to take something from another person’s property. It’s very unsettling to know that someone has
been in our yard and flower beds without our permission.
I don’t know if it is one person or several people doing this but I hope they are being complimented on
their bird house(s). One of them was a jewelry box and three were a bird house shaped canister set of
graduated size. I especially miss our bright red bird feeder. The cardinals and squirrels will miss it
too!
