Adorning My Front Yard

Grass perfectly grown
A lovely white picket fence
Bushes trimmed nicely
All adorn my great front yard
Gorgeous dreamy and wondrous

You must live in a place with a lot of water :) Noone around me has a lush yard :) Your yard sounds fantastic and you wrote a sweet little poem. Good luck in the contest!
