ALBERT & JEAN BEACH

 

Across the Fence

 

By Arvord Abernethy

 

“The grass is always greener in the other fellow’s yard.” That is an old saying that we have all found to be true in so many ways and at so many times.

 

I’m proud of our yard, and there are many in town that are prettier than ours, but there is one yard that I turn my head and look at every time I pass, and that is the yard of Albert and Jean Beach at 201 S. Pecan. Albert may call it Jean’s yard as she is the only one you usually see out working in it. It is always so neatly cut and trimmed.

 

The best way to view the yard is from Leslie Street which runs along the north side of their home, which is about a block east of the First National Bank. The lawn at the back of the house gracefully slopes down to the very edge of “beautiful” Pecan Creek, and there is a back drop of tall ornamental cane at the south edge and ground cover growing along the banks of the creek.

 

This scene causes one to picture in his mind how beautiful Pecan Creek can be and what an asset it could be to Hamilton . Not everyone would have the time and strength to do the work the Beaches put in on theirs, but with cooperation and a little help, we could have a parkway we would all be proud of.
