Oh, thank you so much! I have become sort of self-conscious because I haven't seen anything quite like what I've done. So, it means a lot to me to hear your sweet words. I'm very comfortable with letting the flowers grow where they want, because that's the kind of garden I love the most. I do like order and it does have its place, but ... did you notice last week when I had the castle and towers in the middle? After spouse and adult child agreed that it was a little too much like Disneyland, it went away. Frankly, it didn't feel right anyway.

I am a little concerned because I have begun to notice "real" plants and even buildings that resemble (to my overactive imagination) our little fiefdoms. Um ... did I just actually verbalize that? Uh-oh! There's a hotel/resort on the highway going to my daughter's house that reminds me of, well, of the Prehistoria Hotel. And banks of pansies, rose bushes, daffodils--well, you see what I mean.

I had to move a bunch of resources back out into my commons area because with the latest upgrade, my husband and I have both noticed a big slowdown in production. I had to store some plants, doggone it! I take screen shots and stitch them together everytime I make a big change so that I have a rough record of where I've been.

Once I have reached the lofty heights of Level 60 and above, I will begin thinking about a total re-design. I have stored a bunch of tiles, including the simulated water (which I have lusted after since my first visit to lavaca13's village), and will attempt to modernize the place. We'll see how long that lasts!

By the way, I love how your oasis fits where you put it. The rain is refreshing there, as it feeds the Pyramid Lake.

I'll be visiting this evening to tip; it's the last thing I do before bed. And do keep us posted on your mom-in-law.
