April 2020 – Mike and Cathy Coby

Neighbors, are you yearning for a dose of hope and an injection of normalcy? The paramedics on the Yard of the Month Committee have found the cure. They prescribe fast-acting visual exposure to 7114 Blenheim Palace Lane, staffed by specialists Cathy and Mike Coby. The miracle drug has many common ingredients in measured amounts. Instead of patients in their beds, you will observe a colorful cocktail of variegated ginger, snapdragons, begonias, crepe myrtles, knockout roses, orange day lilies, and dusty millers. Instead of employing teams of nurses and doctors, these beds are monitored by live oaks, pines, and green and yellow ligustrum hedges. Contrary to stern warnings to stay six feet away, there are two spring wreaths on the doors. Sterile containers have been replaced by pots of desert roses and petunias, and masks and gloves have given way to Easter eggs in the hedges. Feeling better already?
