ucked away in a secluded neighborhood called Timber Creek, the yard of Alan and Pat-
ty Noll at 2027 Standing Timber Road stands out. From their thick green carpet-like
fescue grass to the neatly rounded shrubs, passersby can tell this yard is well cared for.
Janesta Williams and Cecile Flanders from The Lancaster Garden Club agrees as she has select-
ed the Nolls yard as the April Yard of the Month.
At this time of year most of the bulbs and pear trees have finished flowering; therefore, the
Yard of the Month for April was chosen because of the original landscaping and the Nolls wide
selection of shrubs and plants, said Flanders.
W
hen the Nolls first purchased
their home nine-and-a-half
years ago, the shrubs were overgrown
and out of control.
It took me two to three years to get
the shrubs (mostly hollies) back in
shape, Alan said.
Once that was done, perennials were
added providing pops of color as well
as varieties of foliage. Along the side-
walk edged by landscape pavers, dian-
thus perennials are in full bloom. Ivy
surrounds a garden urn filled with tiny
violas. A sculpted island in the center
of the front yard features a bright green
groundcover called Angelina Stone-
crop, a variety of sedum with needle-
like foliage that bears yellow flowers.
Here gladiolas are beginning to emerge
along with the new leaves of Shasta
daisies. Velvety lambs ear with its sil-
very green foliage creates a beautiful
contrast of color alongside the red
blooms of geraniums.
To the left of their driveway, a raised
bed features knockout roses, Shasta
daisies, mums, pansies, salvia nemoro-
sa (sage) and nandina.
We have tried to have a variety of
plants in our beds to have some color
year round, Patty said.
The variegated leaves of Hosta and
Lenten roses seem to enjoy the shady
sections of the Noll yard. Stepping
stones lead from the driveway through

I
gotta admit that some of
the folks who browse
through my Remember
When musings occasionally
ask, Just how old are you?
Well, Im about to enjoy my
81st summer, and Im wishin
for a good many more, provid-
ed those extra years dont get
me saddled down with all
kinds of ills.
Being sick and a burden to
others aint something to wish
on your worst enemy.
I am right proud to admit
my age. A whole bunch of
folks never make it to this
point.
Another thing about getting
older is the fact that many of
the famous and infamous have
already passed away.
Hardly a day goes by that I
am not saddened by the pass-
ing of a friend, relative or ac-
quaintance. Sometimes, its
expected. Other times, it
comes out of the blue, which
is short for clear blue sky, or
without warning.
You know, sometimes I feel a
might light-headed and sorta
wobbly, maybe I jumped up
too quick. Then there are
those chores you cant put off.
Shucks, Ill get the really
need doin, ones out of the
way before Mrs. Mary rings
the dinner bell.
Then reality sets in, my
breathing sorta takes the wind
right outta my sails. A sitting
