Retirement is a big job! It has been tough to find time to just sit and do nothing or to sit and read or even blog. I really enjoy the summer and am truly not ready for fall, but the garden is telling me that fall is coming regardless of this old gardener love of sunshine. I was out pulling a few weeds and noticed the Japanese anemones are starting to bloom, a sure sign of change.
The kitchen garden is in its final glory, with a nice crop of beans to be picked and packed into the freezer. Three more heads of red cabbage and four butternut squash will close down the garden for the year.
This window box is in denial and like this old gardener screams, “Give me more summer!” But most chores now are around the house instead of in the garden.
The front porch was a week long project that required sanding the majority of it down to raw wood.
MeMa loved the new look and that’s all that matters.
