What a peaceful sanctuary; I love the creeping fig wall. But your schedule wears me out. Not even a LITTLE glass of wine?
It is a beautiful landscape indeed! I love the long leaf pine. And the little red and black fellows. I'm hugely impressed by the schedule - that's what I need and don't have. But I agree with Bibi - no wine? :-(
Always nice to share the surroundings from someplace else. It is so different than here!
That is one beautiful place. I love the house and the trees and the greens,....andandand.... :D
Glad you had a good time together!
I see there is a reference to Oleander (the poisonous plant). What a super retreat and great discipline !! Well done :)
