Yes, Kitty, you are right.  We looked for a number of years to find the right 
acreage but did not find it.  The second choice to more outdoor gardening 
space was the garden room which we added.  I have not looked since. Now we are to 
old to make that move again and start from scratch.
    My neighbors just added a huge addition to their already sizeable home, 
now about 5000 sqft.  They also moved their patio to our side of their home 
because of my gardens.  Their landscape architect told them you can not put a 
value on the importance my garden is to their design.  BTW, they added a huge 
beautiful curved brick patio.  I love them, they are like our kids and their 
daughter like a granddaughter but I do have concerns because they like to 
entertain outdoors on the patio & gazebo area and I work in the garden many times til 
dark.  This was not a problem when their patio was on the reverse side of 
their home and their sunroom extended btwn the patio & my garden. I feel like I 
cannot do that now if they are entertaining as the patio extents out from their 
home near our lot line.  I have mentioned this to them and they assured me I 
should not chg my gardening schedule but I, like Pam says, dress poorly when I 
am gardening. I always work standing, bent over.  Beautiful scene from their 
patio, huh?  Spring will tell.
