This month's Take Joy Society get-together was to tour Ron and Nancy Walz's civil-war-era house and personal garden at Surreybrooke on the Open Days Tour sponsored by the Garden Conservancy. Open Days features private gardens throughout the country. There may be one in your area, so check the Garden Conservancy link above. Unfortunate for the others, Cindy and I were the only one's able to make it today. We got to see the modern addition as well as the original part of the house. This is looking back down the walk we came up to get to the new addition. In the distance is the mountain range I live on. You will see Catoctin Mountain in the background in many of the photos. . . .
