Weddings of All Sorts
Our Son Got Married....Here!
We had a tent, and flowers (most of which came from the property):

And the ceremony was done by a distinguished J.P. (Bob) at the Landing in the Rock Garden.
It IS a Good Place to Get Married...

Transplanting, both necessary and rewarding, continues when we need.
Bye bye to the overgrown 'dwarf' in the bed next to the patio. It just outgrew itself, and will have a new home. |

The Tea House continues to gain in stature:

But Bob's neck fusion slowed us down in the fall.
