I suppose there could possibly be a few almost-300-year-old gardens here in the States, but certainly nothing even close to Europe's centuries old family estates, castles, places like Hadrian's Wall, etc.<BR/><BR/>I've often wondered what being surrounded by locations and buildings and traditions tied to all those centuries of history would be like, and whether growing up there makes one more cognizant of the progress of the ages through time. I'm not sure we have much of a sense of history here on my side of the "pond."Sara at Come Away With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677354270954094291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-27982656478367965412007-11-07T16:05:00.000+00:002007-11-07T16:05:00.000+00:00The gardens really are impressive...almost like a ...The gardens really are impressive...almost like a park. There I go again! It certainly is a national treasure and a lovely place for walking. I prefer your garden, though. What kinds of things must you do to prepare it for winter? <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the visit!Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-53414198956666049912007-11-07T07:40:00.000+00:002007-11-07T07:40:00.000+00:00So what is your favorite kind of garden?I might ha...So what is your favorite kind of garden?<BR/><BR/>I might have to do a blog on that, hmmmma woman who ishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17136374470040601602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-6760492644052211272007-11-07T04:27:00.000+00:002007-11-07T04:27:00.000+00:00Beautiful pictures Barbara!

I have been reading your story and I find it most interesting.My husband was a merchant marine before we married after dating only 4 months as well.

Something about that sixth photo reminds me of the Jefferson Memorial in Washington D.C., though it's not as tucked into woods as your image.

I don't think I would have wanted to live in such a Large House with so much property around me. Imagine walking down to the mailbox...of course the servants did that, but still. Thank you for taking us on this visit. It was very educational and interesting.Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912030095491960175noreply@blogger.com
