And now we've started on this path of having kids, and maybe our kids will have kids, and their kids will have kids...and if we're very lucky we'll be providing magic for them. And we'll get to see them experience it. Which is the pretty beautiful in and of itself.EMQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11459532113269254971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-17189669671354778272012-04-10T10:51:35.054-07:002012-04-10T10:51:35.054-07:00This post made my day...and what a day it's be...This post made my day...and what a day it's been. Thank you for sharing. When my husband and I bought our home 7 years ago, I had no clue what to do with all the property. Each summer I'm able to bring it a few steps closer to the Secret Garden I hope for. This post gave me so much inspiration.

As an early childhood educator & lover of all things magical and outdoors, I want to say thank you for the gifts of wonder, imagination and excitement that your family is passing on from generation to generation - and for sharing a glimpse with the cyberverse that will no doubt inspire others.

This is EXACTLY the sort of backyard garden we've been trying to establish (we live on an acre - about 1/4 of which is veggies and antoher 1/4 of which we want to make into something like this) and it's SO HARD to find good garden plans. I would love to see what sort of flowers she employs and how large some of these areas are.Sarah @ BecomingSarah.comhttp://www.becomingsarah.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-52187270754304430332012-04-10T09:58:15.514-07:002012-04-10T09:58:15.514-07:00Lovely post!Lovely post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-61920372419143116962012-04-10T09:14:42.440-07:002012-04-10T09:14:42.440-07:00As a new mom and a renter I constantly think about...As a new mom and a renter I constantly think about where to "set roots" for my son.

We also gather there to play and take pictures and have weddings...it's like an inheritance that we don't actually get to keep or hold. But watching my kids climb on the glacial boulders that are there and hide in the trees like I did and my mother did, while my grandparents look on, nearly makes me feel bad for others who don't get that.

I think I would cry having to leave it and its magic, its beauty, cousins!<br /><br />I know it's scary to put down roots, but imagine how your Nana must feel to see so many generations do the same as those before them. That has got to be a special feeling, and one she treasures, I'm sure. <br /><br />I hope your spring break was awesome and that this week isn't too hard to get back into the usual routine. (Our first day back found us dragging. I was only late to work by 10 minutes though, so I'll proclaim that a win).Arnebyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16445670708629187950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-43176657226551476222012-04-10T02:13:35.802-07:002012-04-10T02:13:35.802-07:00Absolutely beautiful!Absolutely beautiful!Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05534923740955425886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-38049012665098201992012-04-09T22:39:14.422-07:002012-04-09T22:39:14.422-07:00So beautiful, made me miss my own grandmother and ...So beautiful, made me miss my own grandmother and her garden.
