Is that a tent in the background Lori? You have a yard large enough for that?

looks like your garden enjoyed the summer Lori..

Hi Stan... yes it's a gazebo tent. Nice for buggy evenings in summer. We have about 8 acres in total...3 in garden/yard the rest is forest.
It's was a really good summer, Sandra. It's all I can do to keep the grass cut and the weeds pulled... too much for an old lady who is trying to expand the plantings yet still keep the rest looking like a garden and not a mess! Having bitten off (almost) more than I can chew... I'm having knee issues ... next summer, I'm going to require an assistant to do the grass cutting. I'm too old to cut the mustard!
