Dear Amy: My fiance and I recently became engaged. He is originally from another country, and his family still lives there. Because of COVID-19 restrictions and the visa process, most are unable to travel to the U.S. for a wedding, so we decided to host (and pay for) a small U.S. ceremony and have a big wedding in his home country (where costs are much lower).
The concept of “borrowed views” has a long history in landscape design, she said. Grand European estates often were arranged to capture expansive vistas from stately homes across fields, hills, woods and villages, far beyond the estate boundaries. Today, subdivisions are built around golf courses for the same reason.
I see this differently. I think it is cool when parents and siblings get together to recreate some of their group photos from childhood. And I treasure the one photo I have of my mother and her sisters, taken later in life – just the four of them together (no spouses or children), as they had been in childhood.

Lisa denies that Bart has ever become violent when under the influence, but he typically rants and rages, and sometimes vomits and soils himself. She cleans up the mess. She’s even bought him alcohol because he’s convinced her that if he suddenly stops, he may die.
You can respond to these overtures with: “I understand that ‘Matt’ is not well, and I’m genuinely sorry for what the family is going through. I’m working on forgiveness, and understand that this could be important for Matt. Of course, I will accept Matt’s apology, but I don’t feel ready to see him in person.”
Snow cover is good for your garden, as it will insulate against any intense cold and fluctuating winter temperatures. The snow cover will help mitigate the temperature extremes and reduce the penetration of cold on days and nights when temperatures are very cold (in the teens and below). Without snow, the ground can freeze more deeply. Plants that were produced in containers and installed last year can heave out of the ground because of the freeze/thaw cycles that typically occur in late winter and early spring, if they were not mulched last fall. Think of the snow as mulch for your garden, in addition to creating a beautiful winter scene.
Not every kind of shrub will respond to rejuvenation pruning, but some that will include forsythia, weigela, privet, honeysuckle, spirea and some kinds of hydrangea. “It can save some old, messy shrubs that you might otherwise remove,” Janoski said.
