How The Great Wall Got It's Name

A few years back,when the first retaining wall was going in,I bribed our youngest son to come over and help me.

After a few hours of hauling fill dirt and the retaining stones,he looked at me and said,


"What are you building? The Great Wall of Lutz?"

And the name has stuck!


Follow along with us as we attempt to turn our Zone 9-ish/ 10-ish,semi-rural plot of land into a tropical paradise........

Congrats on your win!!! Beautiful photos once again. I am not really into football...yes, I was a pom pom girl a hundred years ago in high school, but that was only to wear the short little skirts!

Yay, go Bulls!! They didn't have a football team when I lived there, but I went to many many concerts there under the "parachute", as we called it.
