👣 Backyard Safety Tip

We recommend wearing sandals or shoes when walking in the backyard. Like many houses in this area, ours was built on an old construction dump. Despite our best efforts to clean and remove debris, small bits of broken glass or other construction waste may still surface from time to time.

We’re truly sorry for this inconvenience — unfortunately, it’s a long-standing issue in the neighborhood that’s beyond our control.

Thank you for your understanding, and please stay safe while enjoying the garden!
