What a lovely diversion your blog is….It’s always a treat to visit Blithewold through your photos. And what is it about Gregory Peck?…I’ve had a crush on him since TKAM came out, and I see I’m not alone. A wonderful holiday to you and Gail and your loved ones.

Thanks, Kathy! Anytime you can sneak away for a real actual in-the-flesh visit, come on by and we’ll put the kettle on. Happy Holidays to you and yours too! -kris

p.s. Your nods to GP & Susan’s comment are hilarious. When I was a budding writer, I wanted to write a film for Gregory Peck to star in. No one tops Atticus!

Joe Bradley makes my heart go pitterpat. But then Atticus breaks it. (Wonder what the Cape Fear GP will do to me…) -kris

Beautiful, Kris! Blithewold has some amazing trees and truly great bones. The Slaterville garden, not so much. We have a few big nice trees and a lot of rocks though One day there will be dwarf conifers, pathways, and a little orchard…

Lynn, Even though your garden was wearing its beautiful skin when I saw it, I could tell it had excellent bones. But I’m with you on your “one day” list – I love the orchard idea especially! -kris

Well, are we talking about Roman Holiday Gregory Peck or are we looking at Cape Fear Gregory Peck? We’ve got Roman Holiday and Cape Fear: While the large rock I moved has perfected a vignette involving a bench at the end of a path, under natural arbor formed by my crabapple, but my sad looking shed is looking even sadder this year.

We’ve got potential here, but it will be a few years coming. There’s nothing like winter to point out that your garden needs more evergreens.

Too true about seeing the need for evergreens, Susan. And I have to admit to only thinking of Mr. Bradley – Blithewold is that kind of debonair. I’ll have to add Cape Fear to my movie list to see his resemblance to my own garden. I have a shed probably like yours – but no perfected vignettes yet, alas… (I wish I could see pictures of yours – I’m more and more intrigued!) -kris

Hi Kris,
Taking a (short) breath before going back out..my garden right now looks more like miss haversham, but I so agree,,,the silouette of the trees, the buds already formed, the amazing bark that you just don’t see in the (heat) of the summer…its a great month…I opened your blog to find the entry about the terrarium making–the pic with the cute glass boots…what month was it/ thanks

Norma, “Miss Haversham”! Hilarious. Will you be giving terrariums as Christmas presents? I wish I could get away with giving them again… The post is here (I wrote it 2 years ago, October!) -kris
