I know what you mean about the overwhelming feeling when you realize the sheer magnitude of the challenge, but life in the country put one's mind right.

Thanks for the great tour of both gardens. Mindy is so lucky she got her dream now while she's young enough to work it. If you had asked me 20 years ago I would have said I wanted a big suburban house and garden, which I now have, but almost too late to really enjoy it. My dream now is for Nigel to retire with me back to England in a little stone cottage in a village with a small garden, maybe even just a courtyard with pots. I'm even willing to become a subject of the Queen.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-16679596420841088272018-08-07T20:22:05.192-07:002018-08-07T20:22:05.192-07:00Awwwww, so fun to see the place through someone el...Awwwww, so fun to see the place through someone else's lense. Of course, I see the to-do list. But honestly, as we're days away from the one year mark, I look back at photos from the first month and am proud of how much we've accomplished.

For me, the in-use train tracks would have had me running before I even saw the animals. Do not like loud noise. <br /><br />I can really relate to the anxiety you felt at the thought of taking care of all that space. I wonder what will ultimately win out, my plant addiction or my desire for simplicity? Probably the addiction.Evan Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732413653862912387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-92140493413708980042018-08-07T12:37:40.242-07:002018-08-07T12:37:40.242-07:00We started looking at 13 acres and after viewing m...We started looking at 13 acres and after viewing many country and suburban properties, realized we are city folks.

I miss her posts and am amazed at how much she's accomplished in only a year! A beautiful garden and home in a to-die-for setting (well, minus the train thing.) Joyce's house, greenhouse, well, and garden are equally fabulous. For me, living in a bucolic setting like this, away from the crime and noise of the city, is the dream. Although it needs to magically be a 10 minute walk from city amenities. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.com
