Vacation Home: If you live in a large city far from the scenic areas, you can still sell photomurals from the negatives you bring back from vacation trips, but your clientele will consist of fewer businessmen and more home owners. Photomurals for Home Decoration have enjoyed a great boom in recent years and most decorators are highly conscious of the spectacular effects they can create. And decorators will be your agents in selling your pictures to home owners.
Obviously a meadow garden is not for everyone. It does not belong in a single front yard in a suburban housing development where it will be surrounded by dozens of clipped and perfectly kept lawns. There the meadow would be viewed as a thorn among an acre of roses. But for a vacation home, a secluded backyard, or most any rural setting, such a garden is a joy to have that time. In the colder parts of the country, sow the seed in a spring.
There is a rock in Janet's meadow garden that was brought there by the last glacier as it retreated through the Catskill Mountains 10,000 years ago. The rock is 8 feet long, close to 8 feet wide on the right side (facing west) and tapers to a 2-foot width on the left side. The top of the rock is 2 feet above the level of the yard. This rock is like an iceberg: Judging from the slope, only 10 percent is above ground. When Janet and Tom built their vacation home, the man who ran the earth-moving equipment said if they could live with the rock, they should; only blasting would make an impact on it and that was uncertain. |
