They are Eastern White Cedar and make a great little hideaway when they grow in thick together.. in the beginning that area was to be a Secret Garden ... things always have a way of evolving... We were just having fun with the landscape.<br />There are 115 tons of stone in the walls and John put everyone of them in place.. They came from a Harbour renovation when they had to rebuild it after a big storm did damage to the wharf... all the stones have been rounded by the tides. We love that historical connection.Gwen Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13410235558740636534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034897510911253920.post-34392759263636881222014-10-06T16:57:20.896-03:002014-10-06T16:57:20.896-03:00Gwen, It is ALL so very beautiful.

I am envious of all that roundish stone, it is not easily found here. But that porch, in the Autumn light is perfection. I asked in the post below where you will live when you sell this fabulous house? In the cottage you are restoring? Well, that is wonderful too.jerilandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07418564262425621746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034897510911253920.post-16428047776664068442014-10-06T13:41:51.167-03:002014-10-06T13:41:51.167-03:00Hi Jane, I am trying to dry a few bunches of the m...Hi Jane, I am trying to dry a few bunches of the mountain ash berries.

We have adored making this whole property come to life... and we find the beauty of the area engrossing... but the process of creating again, now that this done, is equally pulling us.. Life is a big set of give and take... so many things to weigh out. <br /> Probably the biggest thing we are looking forward to with our newest project, is being closer to family members.

I don't want it to end.<br /><br />Thank you Maya, Yes I named them... The 3 Sisters were here long before us... we pruned away some brush and shrubs that were crowding in around them so they better stood out. They feel like they are standing in wait and watching the tides as the women did waiting for the husbands to return on their sailing ships ... as this was a well known ship building town in the distant past.<br />Gwen Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13410235558740636534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034897510911253920.post-87641631046080168892014-10-01T02:46:30.795-03:002014-10-01T02:46:30.795-03:00Gwen this is such a beautiful post of a beautiful ...Gwen this is such a beautiful post of a beautiful place.
