Vickie, lived in Texas 41 years, ever since I was 14. Hadn't been back north since 1987. Now, for the first time in two decades, I had a deep, reverberating spasm of homesickness for my grandmother's house in Lakeville. Guess one never really loses that sense of recognition (even though we were on the other end of the state from you, the photos still show a landscape close enough to 'see' it
) Your gardens are elegant and graceful and welcoming. Thank you for taking the time to show us.
