I wish more of my neighbors were gardeners but alas...<br /><br />Have you tried yoga? Amazing what happens when you loosen things up. I have a bad hip that gets worse when I indulge in activities like snow shoveling and gardening. Most of the discomfort comes when I'm trying to sleep. A few weeks ago the Friday night yoga class I attended focused on hips. I slept like a baby that night.

I've had knee problems since I was a kid and had arthritis by my late 30's. Now at 43, I expect to have knee replacement at some point. I stay as active as I can and walk constantly. The pleasure outweighs the pain. :o) You have an interesting neighborhood. Your neighbors garden is beautiful. I think the shrub in the top photo is photinia, also known as red tips.Casa Mariposahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647089868277238456noreply@blogger.com
