    I think this has been Laura’s best year. Even though there are always projects going on it’s been a simpler year. A slower pace so to speak. If that’s possible for her. Lol. Her and Aaron both seem to be more relaxed and finally soaking in all the hard work from the last few years. Everything is beautiful.

      I was feeling the same way about the recent videos. There's a time to sow and a time to grow and now it's time to let them be and relax a little. Things are falling into place and maturing and I think they are too as a family, so that's nice to see.

    You can have an electric outlet put into the floor. Best done when building. Our house in Florida had one placed in the living room for lights or power recliners. The tree and geraniums in the Hartley are beautiful.

    The tree is perfect for the Hartley! They do make bases that gently turn the tree, you had mentioned in an earlier video that you would like that. Probably Amazon.
    So many tulips! Can't wait to see them all this Spring!

    Artichoke flows are so amazing. I can never eat them. 😂 I got the Swallowtail Geraniums and they grew beautifully but the blooms were almost white. I never got the beautiful pink. C’est la vie.
