Another great artical!
I loved your description of winter with the red cardinals and veiws from the log cabin! HAHAHA :) My veiw is my crazy neighbors red van parked in front my house next to that lovely grey snow!
After you win the lottery build a big sunroom(heck, why not a greenhouse?!) on the back of your house and make sure it's tall so you can grow those bananers all the way to the top!

You got it - ooh, I forgot about making it tall enough for the bananas, but the parrots need somewhere to fly, after all, and I am so fond of coconuts,,, yes, tall is a good idea, glad you suggested it Steven! x, Carrie

OH YES! The parrots are a must and coconuts too! maybe a 'small' swimming pool perhaps? I once almost sprouted a coconut palm, but I set it outside in the spring as the shell was just starting to crack and left it out overnight by mistake. And guess what? it died :(
I haven't tried since, not enough patients to wait 3 months for a nut to crack. Your idea is much better!

No swimming pools - the chlorine would kill our landscape, better a living lagoon with a filter in the soil, natural fishes etc. I wish I had the link... I will keep you posted on technology breakthroughs! xx, Carrie

HAHAHA, I'll have to write an artical someday, I need to think about something to write about first though! Although I don't have an editor :) I guess that means double the work, darn it!

We have no official editors here - talk to dave - The Dave - if you really want to be a Writer - but I might loan you one of my DDs, if you take over care and feeding, ha ha HA. Feeding is not so bad, it's keeping them clothed in the style to which they wish to be come accustomed that's difficult. We are our own editors, photographers, style editors, punctuators, spell-checkers, etc. It's a hard job, but someone's got to do it, right?

Good luck with your tropical zone 6 paradise!

HAHAHAHA, I could imagine keeping kids dressed "in the style to which they wish to be come accustomed" could be difficult :)
Writing sounds like fun, I'll put it on my 'things to do' list!
