Lots of work in the garden the last few days as the temps have dropped and it is nice and comfortable to work out there. Has been very windy and seems that the wind has blown the hot and humid weather back at us…It starts again tomorrow. Good job I have some books lined up….I plan to stay nice and cool in the A/C.

lots of other happenings but just can’t think of them right now. I need to get used to making myself journal while things are fresh in my mind, but by the time I am done for the day and come in, I am just too tired to do much except read a few posts and give some thumbs up. :-)

A couple of pics that are a few weeks old. The climbing hydrangea on my fence (actually belongs to my neighbour but has grown totally on my side) and a bonica rose
