Stormyla,
Home is Chicago. We rarely take vacations but back in 2001 we planned on a trip to Kentucky. Looking for someplace where there is nothing going on. No bars, no people, no noise. I found a cabin on Jonathan Creek which we rented for a week. Something about the place just touched our hearts. We drove around looking for land and we came across High Ridge Resort. But it's not like a typical resort. It's land that has been sectioned off for sale. They're big into fishing there. We bought a small lot of land and several years later, built a cabin. We spend all our time outside working in the garden. If it's too cold, we drive around looking at antiques. We hope to retire there. We love the people. Warm and caring. Both my husband and I are city people. Living in Chicago is wonderful but so different. But when we're in Kentucky, we are so happy. So at peace with ourselves and each other.
My Chicago garden is cottage style. Took my neighbors some time to get use to it but I love it. The only thing I have to battle here are skunks, squirrels and slugs (and now yellow aster disease). Kentucky is such a challenge but I am very determined.

I posting one section of my Chicago garden that is in the back of the yard - early summer. I think the zinnas are starting to bloom.
