Recently a reader asked for more pictures of the grounds of Acorn Abbey. I admit that I’m stingy with such photos. This is because it will be years before the abbey looks the way I want it to look — overgrown and blooming. Ken and I have planted a lot of stuff this summer, but it’s never enough. And, once planted, a few years of patience is required to see the result. But seeing as how the abbey grounds are pretty green right now with the generous amount of rain we’ve had in the past week, I went out and took some pictures this morning.<\/p>\n
