A coiled hose. . .

Nothing signifies order in my outdoor environment more than a coiled hose by the outside spigot. Perhaps it is because of the almost complete lack of order we experience in living on the edge of an untamed woodland. The prairie flora (also known as "weeds") creep up to meet the thicket. My garden circle in the drive has an English country look. My husband mows sparingly. We are content with this unsubdued, overgrown style of living.

But a coiled hose gives the appearance and feel of planning and control!
