A friend and I were admiring your fabulous gardens on a walk the other day. I am so thrilled that you found this post! The same thing happened with another Atlanta house I toured last week, where the owners saw the post and commented - that had never happened to me before as a blogger and it is so neat! Thank you so much for your kind offer! Becky Lily, I would LOVE to take you up on that offer! A friend and I were admiring your fabulous gardens on a walk the other day.

You're welcome to come by any time - look for my orange Honda Element. But heads up - my two standard poodles may be out in the yard and they like to jump on visitors! As for the tour, Durham and I are planning to renovate the two upper floors and add a small tower in the back - pretty major renovations. After that's complete I'd love to satisfy all nosey neighbors! It was an honor to work with Sambo; what a magnificent human being he was. i will always be grateful for his generosity. Hi, Becky,
