There have been Spring garden parties with tea, champagne and hors d'oeuvres. A hummingbird made a nest last Spring in a rose vine where onlookers could admire her and her baby from only a few feet away. The garden trees provide an oasis and sanctuary to many cardinals and hummingbirds. If you adore nature, this home is just like paradise in your back yard. There have also been many pool parties with kids going down the 50 foot water slide multiple times, or putting golf balls on the putting green, and making s'mores in the fire pit.
