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...

~V~

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.

Us too Bill!

I thought Bill would be older.

Triss You are soo blessed to have such a lovely family ! Great pictures !! Really awesome that you got to met Bill..
And Bill ...., Not only does your Land look good ..so do you! What I mean is... ...
One can tell when a person lives with a lot of land and nature around them they just look healthier, fresh... okay forget it I can't find the words :rolleyes:
What ever it is ,,, It's a sincere delight to meet you..
VERRRRY COOOL!

*afgrey has no idea what to say here*

I hate these kinds of decisions. :p

You are an administrator now so you HAVE to behave and ya gotta be nice to your CEO!

Well, that answers the question that's been burning in my mind...wondering why you made ME a hostess.
...to make me behave and be nice to you.

...this is a hard job for me!

It worked... didn't it?

triss,

it looked like a beautifull trip you had,bill s place looks so serin and restfull,i love places like that.the kids are great ,they seemed to have enjoyed it,lys is adorable.

Geez Cindy, now it kinda sucks to be you huh??

wow Bill, beeoootiful place. I kinda pictured you with a ponytail as well and glasses, but the rest is pretty durn close.
Might take ya up on the offer to visit if they ever let me back into the good ol USA..
LOL

Bill, I always pictured you with a beard also. And white hair. Kind of a human version of Wild Willy.

Wonderful pictures Triss! I was great to be able to see Bill, the "mystery man" everyone talks about.

Bill, you have some beautiful land there. so much to work with and so much work, but you've done a terrific job!

patches

Great pictures Triss!

How old did you think?
Now that you've seen me, how old do you think? (great chance for brownie points here!)

--------------------------------->

***poof****

Vaguely... but yeah... You were the old dude who was trying to drive the boat, weren't you? I'm sorry about what that Rhino did to you that night. That was reallllllllllllly gross!

SHEWWWIEEEE.....




~V~

I resemble that remark!!!!


:p :p :p

Now you knowwwwwwwww why I said 29......

Yep, you are scared of Bill

I don't mind being in the ARK...
It's the thunder and lightening that bothers' me..

Does that mean you're going to get me and the boys plane tickets????

Mel said she would pick you up and drive out here in time for the fourth of July!

Gosh, you don't forget a thing, do you????

4th of July party at Bill's? Sounds like a plan!

I'm thinking a trip up to Colville is sounding about right for this summer. Got a niece up there.

I love brownies - and brownie points are almost as good. Based on a previous comment I would have guessed early to mid-fifties but now that I've seen you I'm sure you're only about 32.

Bev! You aren't even a trouble-maker here like I am!
Why do you need brownie points???
Bill will surely give you a BUNCH for that!


Can I borrow some of them?
You don't need them!

Please, Bev! Loan me some of those points now!

I think I am the one that needs the Brownie points!!!

I think I am the one who needs the
BROWNIES.......

I will take the brownies too! YUM!

WOW Tina, Colville is quite a ways from me, a bit closer to Bill though. Of course you have to drive by me to get there.

I'm enjoying my brownie points and the only reason I don't need them (yet) is because I haven't been around enough to get into trouble. Just wait......

WOW! What a neat place!!

bill,there must be something to those brownies,everyone wants some,ummmmmm

lol franny!!!
