It still truly amazes me how many inventions are attributed to the Shakers. The Shaker Village in Enfield, NH is also a wonderful visit.

I found the Shakers to be a very interesting Sect, just like the Amana Colonies in Iowa, which still practices their Faith, though not as a communal effort. I love your Garden Home Retreat!, as well as your landscaping designs! I love everything you do! Allen, I loved the door Pictures!

They take your mind back to a simpler time! Thanks for sharing pictures that should remind all of us to slow down and to possibly evaluate our priorities. I loved the pictures of the doors.

I have not been to this Shaker Village, but saw first-hand similar architecture in Pleasant Hill, Kentucky, when my husband and I stayed the night in one of the buildings. It is mind-boggling how much of what we use now we owe to the Shakers. Thank you for sharing the photos.

I'm always thinking about taking pictures of gardens, but never seem to have my camera with me. I'm also self-conscieous (sp?) about how my front yard looks and ways to improve it. It's really nice to see welcoming entrances and not just show pieces. Thank you for sharing your photos.
