Last Day of Summer


Today, Saturday September 21, 2013 is the last full day of summer. The azaleas in front of the house are beginning to show it too. This one is a nice bronze while the other one looks like it needs to be fed!

We have all enjoyed the front garden this year. The garden was Bobbie's complete diversion. Once she got started weeding, planting, moving, building or whatever she would keep going even after dark. She completely lost track of time. Her mother liked to say she took after her father in that way. So when friends help, it really means a lot.

Special thanks go out to Andy who with some help from Mariann has kept the garden weeded and neat. It's one less thing for us to worry about around here. They let me participate by calling me in for hazard removal like poison ivy and hornets' nests. Andy, Mariann and the Ballet Ladies have been such a blessing to us over this past year.

Here's proof of the care, a cleome, an annual that is self seeing from the year before. For these to bloom in September, you have to leave them alone earlier in the year. Thanks!
