Comments: Wow - what a gorgeous backyard!! We are getting ready to begin OUR backyard project this Spring, and can only hope it turns out half as nice as yours is! Trying to decide if we want to include a pond or not -- we're definitely doing a waterfall and stream, but the winters are so harsh up here that I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not for us. Anyway, I am mega-impressed that you did so much of the work yourselves -- what an encouragement and inspiration! Thank you for sharing your beautiful creation with us!! ~Sharon

Comments: I love your site! I have a long, long way to go with my thorny 1 acre weed patch, but I plan to be here forever. Prior to this we lived on the North shore of Mexico's largest freshwater lake. (Just Google 'Lake Chapala'.) We were there for 14 years and we miss it every day. But we're back in the USA now and my garden awaits me! Just trying to cope with Gerogia's triple digit summer time weather. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful space with us and congratulations on your amazing family. Sincerely, Kathie Coull

Comments: Your home gardens are so beautiful! I can picture myself sitting in the middle of it all just listening to the water rippling down the rocks! Your son did a great job with your web page - I hooked up through hostasdirect.com. I'm just a little green!

Comments: Lovely, really a piece of Paradise. I love Minnesota, I lived in Rochester while training in Family Medicine at Mayo Clinic. Now my husband and I live in sunny Florida. I came across your web site as I am looking at ponds, I will like to build one in the back patio of my town home.
All the best,
MD
