I've been thinking about putting in a tiny patio. A tiny place for me to sit on a bench where no one can see me. I spent ten years getting the foliage just right in my Brooklyn garden so that when I put that bench along the north fence of my far back 900 sq ft yard, I would have complete privacy. Within a week of my installing a pretty stone bench back there, my neighbor to the north cut down the hedge just behind my wee bench, and my back was exposed. Why am I telling you this?
I suspect that we are going to have to spend a few years adjusting to get it right,
It will take at least ten years, like most things, and even then you will change it constantly. Gardening is a slow motion visual art.
Some people seem to spend a lot of their time looking at satisfying their childhood desires
Imagination has been killed, our opportunities limited.
we have to do whatever our group is doing, and if we don't, we are out.
We are seeing a great deal of this behavior these days. Common sense is dead.
This is my office ;D
I think that one of the great things of an old home, is that it gets evolved with each new owner. Ours has changed a lot over the 60+ years it has been here, and now we get to make our mark - for better or worse!
This is something that saddens me a lot. People without an imagination, don't realise what they are missing.
