I think it's a nice place, somewhere people feel comfortable and nurtured (me and the few I ever allow into my home.)
Orchards are lovely places to spend time, I understand why you miss it. A picnic on a blanket in the orchard in springtime...Seems like a legit thing to me...and way better than chores!
Yes, it's a legitimate thing to do; like everything I bring, the fresh food, playing with my dog, the birds. I will try to create a nice space where I am.
To you congratulations for your space.
