thanks doss. it's a labor of love.
lily love,the river is actually a creek, no name...stays full most of the year, can dry out in august. it leads right down to the Scioto River, about a block away. my husband is doing construction of some sort down by the creek, adding lights or something...note dirt pile at bottom of path!
I am a business consultant in the beauty service space....used to own a small spa in nyc, and was partners in the hair salon at bergdorf goodman for many years....only the business angle, so no asking for hair and beauty tips!
i have commuted in and out of nyc for over 15 years, in the winter i go a lot, 3 times a month, or stay for longer , a couple of weeks at a time and my hubbie comes there sometimes in the winter. in the summer i consolidate and only go there when needed, usually getting away with one 5 or 6 day trip per month. hard to tear myself away from the clems.
the apartment is TINY, but in a good area. i consider myself lucky indeed to be a city mouse and a country mouse!
so as not to post without photo, am including the rockery my husband built with the help of a Bulgarian casual labor, a little suzuki jeep and a borrowed bobcat about 4 years ago. i am trying to grow only sedum in the rockery, but i did put some soapwart seeds out the other day which will be pretty, training pink blooms and may self seed too. now back to clems!
