Simplicity.

                                
If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours ... In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness. 
-Henry David Thoreau, Walden

    Your garden looks amazing, Torrie! You have the kind of back yard where I'd just want to lounge all day and read a book in the sun. I love the quote about simplifying. So important and so hard to do!

    Wow! This is an amazing area, so serene, well done both of you. Love that the fence is open, wish we had done a fence like that so you can see the air and the spaces.
