A Gardeners Forum Forums Members History Forum Life 2006 A visit to Bills

The first thing to see when you turn into Bill's place, with the Hummingbird House in the background.


And of everyone walking in the driveway


The entrance to the Hummingbird House

Shadow hanging out. The kids especially Zack loved Shadow and he is such a happy and friendly dog too!


Walking Stick tree, this is the most unique plant I have ever seen.


The kids at the top of the dirt pile.

And Zack as "King of the Hill"


Charlie at the fountain, a beautiful piece of Bill's newest project. He tried several times to take a swim, must be taking after our Cindy!


All of the kids on Bill's swing.

The kids climbed, with Bill's help to a tree stump. I was probably about 10 feet lower than they were.


Jon and Lys climbing a downed tree.


And finally the kids in front of one of Bill's waterfalls.


More scenery to come soon!

Fantastic pictures, Triss!
You can just tell how much fun the kids had there, and what a nice and comfortable place Bill has made there!

Those are beautiful pics Triss!
Bill, how much land do you have? And how much have you done your own gardening to as opposed to Mother Nature?

Now I want to come visit....

Where's the picture of Bill???

Does Bill really exist or is he computer generated??

Triss great photo's Bill beautiful place you have makes me wish I lived somewhere like that lot of hard work but sure worth it. Jimmy

I bought my eleven acres in 1976, 9 years after it was logged so I started with brambles of blackberries, stumps and rotting trees. I've planted dozens of Rhodys, Azaleas,shrubs and trees and hundreds of perennials, but I also have several areas of native plants that I maintain and help along. Check some of the earlier episodes of Wild Willy and you'll see some pix of what I started with...
I've said it before and I'll say it again... you are all more than welcome to come up for a visit!

Ok, you know what is really COOL, now when I read Bill's posts, I can hear his voice too!

Here are the pics of Bill that were in the Coffeehouse.


Triss and Bill


Bill and Dan enjoying a drink.

Well, I was planning a trip to Nashville and Memphis in April...perhaps I'll decide to head West instead??

I didn't think he'd have a beard, but I did think, for some reason, that he wore glasses.

Triss, Thanx so much for sharing your day at Cedar Hill with us! As always, I love to see pics of those kids!

Bill, as always, beeauutifulll spread! I can't wait to see it in person... don't know when, but God willing, I'll be there sometime this summer!

Awesome pictures, Triss!
I love the one of the kids standing on the stump.
It is so neat that you got to see the guru and Cedar Hill in person!
That is just so cool!


...for some reason I thought he'd have a ponytail.

Once upon a time....

I wonder what happened to that sucker?

had to be something to do with the one who RUNS with scissors

One last pic for the evening...

My gift from Bill. I planted him here at home along with Columbine and the blue flowers from home so he would not feel so lost and out of place.

<sigh> one day...

but i am so proud that you had a great visit!

When your day comes Jiffy and anyone else, you have to let me know to so I can meet you as well!

Those are just awsome pics...what a beutiful place you have made Cedar Hill..I love the "rustic~ness" of it and the beautiful hummer house.
Just makes you wanna plan your vacation at Cedar Hill...Hhhmmm...P~Nutty would sure love that dirt pile....

Glad you got to go Triss and looks like the kidlets had a blast....with Uncle Bill...

Well Glad to have a face to go with the name.

I have a picture of me and the wife in my profile.

It's about 7 years old and I have since shaved the beard off.

Uncle Bill had a blast with the kidlets! Shadow did too!

Great pics, Triss. I'm glad you had such a good visit.

I thought Bill would be older.
