Overgrown it was. Bit by bit I've been able to find a meadow, some rock walls and a limited view. These were hard fought for because the vegetation had taken over. I can support your progress toward all the goals you have named and offer the opinion that the more vegetation you get rid of the happier the remaining vegetation will be. Its a dog eat dog world out there for the plants.<br /><br />Laying dry walls of stone has become one of my favorite pass times. Its hard on the back but rewarding to the mind. An apple orchard has also begun to be beautiful. That started 4 years ago so it is really beginning to take shape now. I got a ride on mower and keep the ground that has been cleared free of weeds and over growth which is easy and fun. It doesn't take much time and just like laying stone it renews the soul. Order counts. AnnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-88219536945199124492013-06-13T20:55:15.182-04:002013-06-13T20:55:15.182-04:00Jeanne

We've all learned that along the way. But we often forget that treees get planted inadvertantly, like by blowing seeds and the birds, and lots of ways. Mother Nature has lots of built-in survival for plants. So, if we are not careful, even trees can run amok. Am so glad you and your advisors have the courage to do what needs to be done to return to earlier plans. Am sure it is easier to do in absentia, but you will be so glad later.<br /><br />It's looking great!!webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168174623602308906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-56111632435301757532013-06-10T18:24:07.781-04:002013-06-10T18:24:07.781-04:00ooh.. its looking great Jeanne.. well done on '...ooh.. its looking great Jeanne.. well done on 'governing from a distance'.. bet you can't wait to get there yourself.. sooo pleased about Martha.. she's a beaut indeed! <br />Happy days ahead there I feel it in my bones.. x j GlamGirlsLuxTravelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12937931489637178146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-69614952006505900122013-06-10T17:44:56.268-04:002013-06-10T17:44:56.268-04:00Tahilla Farm is getting a nice watering tonight an...Tahilla Farm is getting a nice watering tonight and tomorrow Jeanne and let me tell you everything looks so lush around here. It was the perfect winter and now spring for the outside. Glad to read you kept Martha hanging about, as long as she isn't leaning towards the house or falling apart she's fine. We have several old maples that just had their shot of vitamins, try it Martha might like it.
