We seem to have returned to our normally programmed schedule for September weather. It has started getting cooler and the garden is showing it.

200 Ramblings
WOWZA! This is the 200th rambling post that I have written. I am so glad that so many of you continue to enjoy our fumbling and bumbling through landscaping our yard, and have now also been sucked into reading about our favourite garden recipes as well as some of the other hobbies and projects we…
