    Hello from west Central Indiana, the home of Wabash College and nearby Purdue U. My husband and I have several titles, dentist/pianist, herb garden shop owners (those are his), mine are artist-painter/designer, writer, culinary arts, publisher and herb shop owner. And now that we are retired and found a beautiful location on the banks of Sugar Creek, we are gardeners/innkeepers. We are the fourth inn keepers of the Yountsville Inn Bed & Breakfast.

    Sugar Creek is noted for it's beauty and favorite spot for camping, canoeing, fossil hunting, small mouth bass, and is soon to become the second largest nature preserve east of the Mississippi. Eagles are sighted year round, trumpeter swans migrate from Wisconsin for the summer, pelicans fly over as they migrate each spring and fall, countless flocks of bluebirds, wrens, geese, and numerous other varieties of fowl and wildlife appear outside our windows.

    While our property looks like a park, feels like a park, and sounds like a park, it isn't. Everyone has heard the song - On the Banks of the Wabash The Wabash River is also near us.

    This time a warm welcome to GardenStew from Scotland in the UK.

    It sounds as though you have a really lovely spot to live in BWB and we'd love to see some photographs if you have them.
