<p>Finishing  second are<em> Paul and Marie Stowers </em>of 2505 Coxindale .  The yard looks crisp and tidy and the splash of color by the mailbox is a welcoming touch.  This is the sixth time the Stowers have finished in the finals since 2012.</p>

<p>Finishing third are<em> Mark and Christy Frisbee </em>of  8308 Yucca.  The home was Yard of the Month in March of 2011, then owned by Cindy Perry.  Since they arrived in September, the Frisbees have uncluttered the appearance of the front by removing the overgrown arborvitae shrubs by the front door.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Congratulations to each of the homeowners for the consistent quality care they give to their homes and yards and thanks to Larry Deckard and Jamie Visocan who assisted me on the judging panel.</p>

<p>We have a new Yard of the Month for February, 2014:  <em>Michael and Sheri Farmer </em>of 8524 Averell.  Their yard just pops this time of year with their rich green lawn.   They are no strangers to top honors, having a first place finish during each of the last three years. It’s always a treat to see their home as we drive into the neighborhood.</p>

<p>In third are <em>Graham and Alice Kennedy</em> of 8516 Wheeling. Their home always has a neat manicured look, no matter what the season.  This is the twelfth time that <em>the Kennedys</em> have placed in the finals in the last two years, having placed first in June of 2012.</p>
