So many folks can't appreciate nature in it's natural state. <br /><br />Looks like that water was a bit disturbed - maybe they did some tidying before the open day and it hadn't settled yet. I'm going over to their site now to see if they have any pics of it in its regular state.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15597630887713954960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-19456567208663551142011-07-18T11:18:55.653-07:002011-07-18T11:18:55.653-07:00I'm scrolling through, enjoying the pictures.....I'm scrolling through, enjoying the pictures... noting the interesting ginko leaf... <br /><br />and then I see the bamboo on the deck, and I say 'OH!

And that you were able to interview Rebecca by email. But I have to admit to now being a little more depressed than usual by Austin's weather and growing climate after reading her remarks. This is a harder year than usual because of the drought, but the heat always gets me down (like your cool, damp winters get you down), and I feel ready to pull up stakes and move to Eugene too!
