Wow, beautiful spot and I love that color. Japanese gardens are so calming and lovely places to spend the quiet times. I’m not young and quite not old. 45 this month. But I have some substantial goals to accomplish so I need to keep knocking out the smaller and medium sized goals. But interspersed between goals I will make sure there are frequent points of beauty and pleasure to keep my loved ones and myself happily on track for long term success. Oh: I live in wine country in North Bay CA.
It's an East Coast admiration. lol Besides, my fanhood bros and gal are on the other side of the S2 site.
I saw it and liked it. I thought I commented on it but it might have been those two bottles of cheap bourbon that erased my memory that night.
@Orion Bailey - The secret to growing lemons up here is to bring the tree inside before the first frost. The first nip of freezing weather will kill it - I learned the hard way So every year in November I bring it in, and every April it gets to go outside.
I just had an amazing happy coincidence. Wife and I hired a landscape architect through our local nursery to consult with us on a redesign of our garden. Bill comes over, nice guy, my age, etc. We start chatting and he says: "Where did you grow up?" "California" I say "Me too," he says "What part?" "Southern California" I say "Me too" he says. "Where?" "Fullerton" I say. "Me too," he says. It turns out, he was one of my good friends in second and third grade! "You're Billy [last name]"? "Yes!" he says. Lat time I saw him was 1968. Amazing coincidence.
