These beautiful blackeyed susans are from my yard.

This chubby cheeked little chipmunk lives under our shed.

Some annuals in the yard.

Fantastic grapes are from my daughters yard,she makes killer jelly from them.

Home grown grape and cherry tomatoes. Pass the salt shaker yummo.

A single rose in honor of my grandfather. He had the neatest rose garden. He has been gone since I was 14 years old and I can still picture myself swinging in the grape arbor at the back of the garden.

Oh to have those days again

Barb H from Sister's Garden , she said she doesn't like to have her picture taken,she was a good sport and let me take a quick one.

I had never had a chance to really visit with her before ,I seem to always come when they are busy.There were only a couple of ladies in the shop so we had a chance to chat.What a sweet heart .

We made our way through both buildings and even came across Brandon upstairs.
