The EllGab Garden

@Rikki Gins , your 100years question reminds me of this hotel

@PolkaDot.  Oh yes it does, Dot!  I love it when buildings are combined with nature.  I'd like to live in that Frank Lloyd Wright house, the one that he built over a stream.

Fallingwater. @Rikki Gins  I've been there several times.  I too would love to live there.  It's awesome.

Really nice that you were able to see the place, @ShayP.  Thinking back, I've been in a house that looked out at the Pacific ocean and another that looked down at a river, but certainly not anything like Fallingwater.  What a fantastic place.

Looking up at the Ash tree.  Interestingly, the leaves first fell off the side of the tree that didn't face the sun.

We went hiking. I guarded the entrance while the others went further in to find the terrible dust.

@anniem THANK YOU for sharing. One great photo after another. @Exile may like your neighbor.

I agree with FISH, Annie.  Very nice pictures.  I really like the trees that grow in your neck of the woods.

For lunch I had ramen noodle chicken soup.

To it, I added my 87th  homegrown tomato.

It was just under 1 ounce, ping pong ball size, and delicious

Since moving across country I don't usually know what sort of tree is what. I only figured out the walnut tree because I found walnuts under it. Up here, we got an app and now know that the pines here are ponderosa pines. The pine smell is wonderful.

It is nearly an ounce more than anything I've ever grown here!

@anniem

Judging by your photos, where you live, if my plants were there, I think a wild creature would have harvested the tomato before I ever got the chance. 

Your photos look like you are in a good ecology for mushroom hunting / cataloging.

@anniem - Ponderosa's smell like vanilla- give the bark a gentle scratch. It's really quite lovely.

I think you are right! We've only been here a bit over a year. Our neighbor tried to build a dome made of wire, but still is not able to keep the wild ones out. We have a deck on the second story, not sure if we could manage something but I definitely lack the motivation.

There is a couple undeveloped lots around, the one across the street is quite a bit lower than ours. We chatted with some people who were looking around in it, they said they were looking for mushrooms. If it weren't so dry apparently mushrooms would be plentiful over there.

Oh, yes I will. I'll let you know. Thank you!
