Just beautiful!! I think that tub and tea room would be one of my favorites too!! Do you get serious bugs come summer? Black flies? Mosquitos?

Hiya @Earthmother! It’s Not too bad bug wise actually! A few tricks help keep it manageable.
•All standing (contained) water has living willow in it. (The salicylic acid in the willow keeps the mosquito egg poppuktstion down. Essentially the eggs don’t hatch)
•we ‘grow’ fly larvae (maggots) down near the chicken coop (for supplemental protein for the birds), consequently the flies in the area are then drawn to a different area then where we gather. It’s gross AND it works!! Win/Win!😆
brilliant! I still have to wrap my head around maggots...LOL
The black flies are insane here. i put everything in screen tents. Any other tricks will be greatly appreciated! LOL
Huge love!
