It faces East, and we have not much east of us, or South of us, and so the prevailing North, and South winds keep the yard pretty free of leaves, (the rest I mulch).
Then there's the porch protected from the winds on both ends, making a nice resting spot for the neighbor's cat,
He is Hope's BFF (don't tell Halle). I call him Fluffums.....He would love to move into the house (although I think my neighbor, his owner does let him in her house),
Ms. Halle the killer cat will have none of it......
If the front porch doesn't work for him, and he can't get into his owners house, there is always the 'cat shelter' in the backyard. It is in a little alcove with the house again blocking the wind from the North, it's raised above ground with a nice pink blanket........
