The past 2 months have been filled with taking care of lots of little things, like after 2 years of not detailing my 4 Runner, getting it done. Looks almost like it did when I bought it, and ‘Partners in Grime’ saved the paint job! Russel got a canopy and a rack installed on his […]
Here’s the lettuce bed in April, it is now covered with a shade cloth tent over all of it.. we should have salads till October is all goes well..or even longer. Blue Columbine in April, thank you Hand to Land for this columbine! I have several now, this is the biggest. My red poppies usually […]

We also have planted light green Lebanese squash, some globe zucchini and a few others, I am sure Russel will be tired of […]
As I talked about ( in this post ) I have, for lack of a better way to describe it, been sick for going on 7 weeks now. We also had a cold and wet spring, which made the sugar snap peas very happy.. and me too. This doesn’t look like it, but every other […]
