August Yard of the Month
Yard of the Month for August is awarded to Charles and Robin Markham of 2640 Iman Drive. Their yard is at its best in the peak of summer. The Bermuda grass lawn is a lush green carpet and the orange and yellow lantana add vibrant color. This is the second time the Markhams have placed first, having done so in September 2011.
Finishing a very close second are Bryan and Kristen Maness of 8508 Wheeling. This is their first time placing in the top three and their yard could easily get recognition for most improved. All their work last year in putting down zoysia sod has paid of with a lush carpet of lawn that invites one to nestle into the chairs under the shade of the oaks and pines. Look for more color this Fall to propel them into first…
Harrell and Susan Queen of 2816 Coxindale finished third. This is the fifth time the Queens have placed in the finals. They finished second in November of 2012 and first in January of this year and second the last two months. It seems that their yard always looks perfectly maintained.
Congratulations to each of the homeowners and thanks to Jamie Visocan and Larry Deckard who served with me on the judging panel.

November Yard of the Month
We have a winner for Yard of the Month! Taking top prize for November are Michael and Tracey Patnesky of 8508 Bluebill. Coming in a close second was Paul and Marie Stowers of 2505 Coxindale and Jonathan and Gina Kinlaw of 2905 Funster finished third. As the neighborhood steadily improves in appearance, it is getting more and more difficult to pick a winner. Said panelist Bill Pappas, “you could have a had a couple on Bluebill alone!”
So we are happy to announce the second and third place finishers and commend the neighborhood overall as well.
Judging was based on five criteria: a healthy green lawn, properly pruned trees and shrubs, mulched and weed-free beds, seasonal color in flowers and foliage and a clean, clutter-free general appearance.
Thank you to our judging panel — Jennifer Magee, Bill Pappas and Mimi Raub and congratulations to the Patnesky household for a job well done.
