The kids climbed, with Bill's help to a tree stump. I was probably about 10 feet lower than they were.
Jon and Lys climbing a downed tree.
And finally the kids in front of one of Bill's waterfalls.
More scenery to come soon!

Those are beautiful pics Triss! Bill, how much land do you have? And how much have you done your own gardening to as opposed to Mother Nature?
Now I want to come visit....

I bought my eleven acres in 1976, 9 years after it was logged so I started with brambles of blackberries, stumps and rotting trees. I've planted dozens of Rhodys, Azaleas,shrubs and trees and hundreds of perennials, but I also have several areas of native plants that I maintain and help along. Check some of the earlier episodes of Wild Willy and you'll see some pix of what I started with... I've said it before and I'll say it again... you are all more than welcome to come up for a visit!

Well, I was planning a trip to Nashville and Memphis in April...perhaps I'll decide to head West instead?? Those are beautiful pics Triss! Mr. Bill..your home is absolutely beautiful! And I saw your pic in the coffeehouse..I must say, you're pretty much what I pictured except for some reason I thought you'd have a beard.

Awesome pictures, Triss! I love the one of the kids standing on the stump. It is so neat that you got to see the guru and Cedar Hill in person! That is just so cool!

My gift from Bill. I planted him here at home along with Columbine and the blue flowers from home so he would not feel so lost and out of place.

Bill, I love your gardens. I wish I had that much wood to work with. When Mike starts thinking I've lost my mind when I come home dragging branches, are you going to stand up for my sanity?
