Junipers

Coniferous greenery holds up the hill and my eyes. Snakes wind around the roots, and my boots, if I’m not careful. Replaced junipers with a weeping willow and stone wall.

I agree with Paige, Kim, that is an interesting poem. I wonder how high that stone wall happens to be. Thanks for sharing. Sara K

It is not high. It is just on the corner of our lot, shared between our driveway and our neighbors. They kept their junipers. Fence is not at the bottom and is more of an accent wall, perhaps keeps soul from erosion.
