A PIECE OF HEAVEN Annette Maddox has worked for several
years toward making her backyard a peaceful place to be. She is pic
tured standing besiae a small pond built by her husband.
Maddox continues
her love for gardening
Hobby leads to yard of month title
By EMILY JOHNSTONE
Times-Journal Staff
Annette Maddox has always
loved gardens. Their beauty and a
sense of peace appeal to her.
The mother of five boys rarely
had time to putter around in the
yard while raising her children,
though.
Now that they are grown, she
has worked to transform her yard
located on Parkway Drive into a
place to relax and enjoy the many
plants and trees she has planted
the past nine years.
“With five boys that used to
park here on the grass, it was hard
to have a garden,” she said with a
laugh. “One day, I put some boul
ders in one place to stop them
parking there and got an idea to
plant some flowers.”
That idea has turned her back
yard into a showplace that her
sons, Roy Jr., David, Mike, Jeff
and Rusty, dare not park a vehicle
on.
She has many different vari
eties of plants, some from the
mountains, some from local
woods.
“I have tried to mix the wild
plants with the other flowers and
use rocks for decoration,” said
Maddox.
Her husband is owner of The

Stone Mart and that helps a lot
when it comes to finding unusual
rocks to use in her yard.
Maddox likes the early morn
ing hours when the soft morning
light puts a sheen on the surround
ings.
As she works here and there
about the yard, she is followed by
a faithful number of furry felines.
“I like having cats around,” she
commented.
They watch with interest as
Maddox stopped to take a look at
her fish that swim in a small pond
her husband built.
One fish, a bream, will jump
out of the water to snare a worm
she dangles just above the sur
face.
Maddox’s garden has been des
ignated as Yard of the Month by
the Perry Clean and Beautiful
Commission.

Decisions - Decisions
“I'm a man who has been making decisions all my life. My decision to live at Autumn Terrace in
Perry was one of the best I ever made. The accommodations and supportive care were just what I
was looking for. Best of all, the price was right. It’s a great place... ”
Facing Facts
The gentleman pictured above is a realist. He
knew he was struggling to slow down. Sometimes
he just didn't to going out shopping so he
skipped a meal. He wasn't able to do the things
he wanted to around the house. It was being
neglected. Sure, he had a few friends and a
great family and they would drop by. But not as
frequently as he wished. He found himself getting
frustrated, on edge and bored. One day, he
heard about Autumn Terrace and what it had to
offer. He went out for a look and was delighted
at what he found. He now enjoys a whole new
lifestyle.
