Like almost cliche

That said, I loved the inside.

- sash has cherry, apple, pear, and peach. we make fruit stuffing in fall and spring that is just magical. -- nm - amanda jones Oct 11, 13:20 28
  - lots ot work to keep them pruned, once they get wild and huge you can't make them small again, squirrels get all our cherries and walnuts, I mean ALL -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 11, 13:26
  - when i have a house there *will* be fruit trees. i mean, you want trees anyway right? why not fruit trees? -- nm - Andie Oct 11, 13:22 24
    - heaven forbid you're too busy one season to harvest... -- nm - znufrii Oct 11, 13:24 2

    - "Damnit, Mr. Andie! Go outside and pick up all that damn fruit that's lying in the yard!" -- nm - oblique Oct 11, 13:23 14
      - *shrug*. people i know with fruit trees invite friends over in season and tell them to go nuts. fruit for everyone! -- nm - Andie Oct 11, 13:24 13

        people are such haters. we have a great time harvesting sash's fruit. you can drink while you do it! -- nm - amanda jones Oct 11, 13:28 10
        
        I'm not saying I wouldn't do it, it's just a lot of work. -- nm - znufrii Oct 11, 13:31 7

        If I was getting paid for it? different story. -- nm - znufrii Oct 11, 13:34 2

        :P -- nm - znufrii Oct 11, 13:35
        
        sure, it's also tons of free, healthy, organic food, in your yard. what else are you doing with your time? watching tv? it's not a year long thing. -- nm - Andie Oct 11, 13:32 2
        
        our apples and cherries were always full of bugs. We would have had to spray them to make them edible. -- nm - loosilu Oct 11, 13:35
        
        considering the neglect suffered by our yard this summer, I think I need something a little lower-maintenance. :) -- nm - znufrii Oct 11, 13:33
        
        Like many things, I like enjoying them when someone else has them (dogs, kids, fruit) - oblique Oct 11, 13:29 1
        
        this. -- nm - loosilu Oct 11, 13:30
        
        You didn't say anything about nut trees -- nm - oblique Oct 11, 13:25
    - because they are dirty and buggy and smelly? - decline Oct 11, 13:23 5
      - This. - Ducky Momo Oct 11, 13:27
      - flowering in spring? fruit in fall? (yes, you have to pick up the fallen fruit.) -- nm - Andie Oct 11, 13:23 3
        
        I spent my childhood picking up rotten buggy apples. I'll pass. -- nm - loosilu Oct 11, 13:26 2
        
        you had a strange childhood -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 11, 13:32 1

  - oh yummy! - znufrii Oct 11, 13:22

From other things you've said, I think you just don't like traditional/colonial style. Which is fine. Lots of people like it, though. -- nm - loosilu Oct 11, 13:18 3
- Maybe that's it. I like some classic architecture, but not architecture that reminds me of the Revolutionary War. -- nm - ty97 Oct 11, 13:26 2
  - ps. I've been to George Washington's house (Mount Vernon) and it's way better. :) -- nm - loosilu Oct 11, 13:27 1
    - I've been to one of his houses (in Orange County, NY) and I was whelmed - ty97 Oct 11, 13:28
who wouldn't want a hippo house?! -- nm - TFox Oct 11, 13:15
