Word Scramble

In the fall of 2001, I dug the border around the backside of the deck. Every year I would look at this area, thinking that it just screamed for a flower border. I would casually mention this to my darling husband, who would shake his head firmly in the negative--"no more grass", "don't you think you have enough flower borders?" After 6 years of logical persuasion, he finally relented. I now happily tend to borders around the entire deck.
