Photos of my ranch Today

How beautiful! It looks very peaceful.

Have an awesome weekend.

Great pics! Wish I could have a veggie garden like yours! Do you cook to utilize all those goodies?

Waw…
Thats so GREAT Jane..
I’d LOVE to be There..
I wish I could..

LOVES U’R RANCH So much..
So NATUREABLE and PEACEFULL..
🙂

It really looks like a little corner of heaven!

The river runs through your property? That’s fantastic! Love that you have such wonderful outdoor space that includes a veggie garden. Seeing this is a reminder for me to work harder so I can someday soon own a home with land! Thanks for the view and renewed resolve! Have a great week!

Who needs L.A. with a ranch like that. I would run away from the public ever chance I had.. great doors on your grand kids craft room. take care..Hugs to Tulea

Thanks Ms Jane, how wonderful!
Always loved ya!

Holy mackeral it’s GREEN! You are either in a low spot that gets a lot of moisture or possibly you irrigate? Anyway, lovely area.
As an aside, your personal landscapes are very diverse (NY for the play, Atlanta for home/work, NM for retreat, LA to work). Interesting geographic/demographic equation to help you find a balance!

The playground is so great. It looks like it’s made with untreated wood…..so green!
So since you don’t live there all year round, are there other people who live there to keep it up and running? How does that work?

Michelle:-)

Oh my God, that playground is so creative! And AWESOME!!! What a great job!

Wow Jane,

What great photos! The grasses are so beautiful and each one looks like a friend with a cool hairdo. I think you should give each one a name.
Each looks like its waiting outside your door to great you each day.

What type of plant outside the craft pagota? It looks like bay leaves. They don’t grow in New England so I’m amazed to see how beautiful.

Do you have the beautiful sage planets that I love to burn for good energy? We don’t have that sage here. Its a whitish grey leave and very soft feeling. Like to see if I could grow some indoors.

Vanessa what inviting and beautiful play areas
and Jane your place is a jewel to treasure.
Who would not enjoy hanging their hat there?

all the best,

The pictures are awesome! I have been wondering since you have more than one home, do you really miss Atlanta?

gorgeous – I especially love your vegtable garden!

Do you work on that garden yourself, Jane?

Jane,

Well last night I got to missing New Mexican magic while watching the good biopic about Georgia O’ Keeffe with the amazing Jeremy Irons and Joan Allen.
Now with your pictures, the beautiful sky in San Francisco today seems, well…dull somehow. I’ll just have to watch Off the Map, which I highly recommend and ironically stars Joan Allen as well.
I keep telling Mr. Andrews to watch it since he’ll
“get it” after his recent visit.

I hope the writing is going well.

Best Regards and ongoing respect to you,

Matthew

PS. I found the photographer who took the shots of you and Harvey! I’ll be seeing Sally Gearhart in a few weeks in Petaluma, another hero of mine. I wonder if she’ll have recollections about that evening and your participation?

Beautiful, just like you…inside outside…God Bless and warmest greetings from India..:)

Pictures of your ranch are my favorite of all the pictures you have shared…..the river, the grasses, your garden, the view of the mountain and trees from your bedroom….all so lovely and serene! Thank you for sharing! I can almost hear the water moving over the rocks!
What fun to see the grandchildren’s playground! It makes me want to climb the equipment myself! 🙂 Vanessa did an excellent job designing it!! It’s interesting to think of Greer Garson enjoying that ranch too! So glad someone like you owns it now who can appreciate the surrounding beauty there and also have a “animal friendly” environment for the wildlife!! 🙂

Absolutely magnificent! Your love of the land and your space shows with an eloquence beyond words. Living in Arizona’s White Mountains, we’ve similar scenery, and I’m busy “non-designing” our 40 acres. It IS difficult to terraform while keeping the natural beauty that attracted you in the first place!

But I do have one question … how are you finding the container growing of the tomatoes? I’d only done the usual sort (with astonishing results, both in Phoenix and in Overgaard, AZ.), but tried the container approach this year because we’re now near Concho (freak hail-storms, etc.) without much success. Is there a secret, or do I give in and get the tractor we’ve budgeted in?

I absolutely love the Playground. It’s wonderful.
And the herb garden is great. I have one myself, of which I’m rather proud because I’ve managed to grow this huge Rosemary plant that has, so far, survived many NY winters, which they tell me is unusual.
You have a lovely property, with the river running though it and it looks very peaceful. Truly lovely

You mean to say ‘evolving movie stars’, don’t you?! Gorgeous photos, thank you for sharing these. Love the western, rustic look. I trust your garden is organically grown, no pesticides or herbicides or GMOs…

Dear Jane,
I love the picture it all looks so wonderful. I bet the kids just love all the play areas. Reminds me of my own backyard. ( well minis the river )I hope this finds you and Richard having a splendid day.
Love,
Raeann

Love yoru picutres and to read your blogs. You are truly an inspiration to all women – how you can lead an active, loving, interesting life as you get older and wiser. I am just an average working class woman now in her 50’s and it does scare me a bit too become older. I do not have the financial resources that you have so it is a little bit scary in how society views me as an older woman. Please tell me that there is hope and to hang in there and it will all too out as planned.

Thanks for the photos of your ranch. I used to live above Pecos on Cow Creek on ten acres. I love the fall in the mountains there. Your pictures make me homesick for my old place. Say hello to Anna Belle at Adelo’s for me sometime. Peter

As I looked at your photos, I not could help being impressed by the beauty and tranquility of your life. Only rich people can live as you apparently do. You have no idea what life is like when your world can suddenly be turned inside out. What makes you an authority on the Middle East? People in Israel never have the pleasure of absolute tranquility. Arabs shell in the north and now in the south. They hit buildings where families live. That is their intention. Women live with the fact that their male relatives must serve in the military in order to protect the country and their families until they are into their fifties. All around are families that have lost sons, fathers, cousins in battle. The country is full of people who have been permanently maimed as a result of attacks on civilian populations. I find it difficult not to remember children who have lost limbs in attacks. And all this has gone on for over 100 years, when there was no state, and no army.

When Jews could not defend ourselves, no one gave a damn, and they died at the hands of centuries of Europeans. Now that we can defend ourselves, Israel is assigned the role of rogue, villain etc.

Why don’t you stay in your garden. Half of what you think you know about the ME is the result of very effective Arab propaganda. Israel has the right to dispense what you call “propaganda” of its own. If participating in a film festival is equivalent to propaganda.

I was living in Israel when you were visiting in Hanoi. That was not heroic. You could have expressed your opposition from the US.

You are just a movie actress. I have dual IS/Israeli citizenship, and have been a Jew for 67 years. No one is coming to hear my opinion. You are a very self righteous woman.

Jane, I’m anxiously awaiting your next post. New to your blog, but loving it, after having walked to your audio tapes, exercised to your VHR tapes, seen your movies, read your book and kept up with you over the last 30+ years. I want to say more, but I’ll leave that for next time.
