Sign them up; The Ortegas are winners of being beautiful in TD
A well-manicured yard, to say the least, left judges on the City of The Dalles Beautification Committee coming back to 1010 H Street as the Ortega family showed off some massive community pride with this ornamental beauty.
They received the Beautification Award for May.
Sonia, Ricardo, and Anaya Ortega also got a nice photo to boot. Nothing like crisp white lines on the dark green of the house to meld with those shaped trees and shrubs and cascading dormer. And what would a yard be without that quintessential dogwood?
Jealous?
Don’t be.
Get even by throwing on those garden gloves and seeing what you can do to make your neighbors smile.
The joy of a good walk is having something to look at that transcends the daily toil.
We’re transcended - nice work!
