This was after our first move in 1975 to Spartanburg, SC; then to Whitmire, SC (1980) to Westminster (1982) Iva, SC (1987) and to Randleman, NC in 2000. Roots can run deep after a few years in a location.

It's our plants (almost included a picture of a wall of hydrangeas!) that we've planted, our family and friends who have walked in and out of the door--all of the above. And yes, something to be built over time.
