To all of us who just can't help it, who would still rather live in an old house even after fixing one up, remember the words of the poet:  He who loves an old house never loves in vain.
                                                                     -Isabel La Howe Conant. "Old House".

This is the story of my love affair with an old house, the overgrown garden surrounding it, and the hypnotically beautiful landscape beyond. The house and garden reveal new things to me all the time, compelling me to share some of my experiences here. Enjoy!
