I love making your tomato soup base. I picked a lot of tomatoes this morning, so perhaps that is something to make with this round. lol

Right, I told the bees they could follow me and I would let them have the sunflowers. lol

Thank you; the sunflowers are so joyful.

I’m beginning to realize how obsessive I’ve become. lol. We are only two people and I have enough food in my house to feed three families.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the sunflowers.

Thank you, @ewkaw.

Oh my goodness! That is a huge endeavor to move them into the basement. Wow, I sure hope you can get them down those steps. I have two uprights in my garage, and that is enough space for the two of us.

You captured so many butterflies perfectly with the camera. They are gorgeous.

I'm glad to hear you can take a walk, Jay. Sorry you are still having some difficulty with the pain. Love the photos as always. Be well.

Dang those weeds! It seems to be every gardener's pain in the neck, lol. We've been pulling out tomatoes and peppers that are done, and the garden is looking pretty sparse. It is so dark out right now

I commend you for looking into alternatives. I do the same and do my best to go the natural route. These past few months have been tough for sure. I wish you the best!!!!!

He works so hard to keep up with so much, but he suffers from pain for doing so. I know it is the right thing to do by cutting out some of the major gardening areas. The more the years go by, the more

I totally know how you are having to adjust too. My hubby is 81 and still manages a lot, but he suffers for it. With two surgeries upcoming back-to-back, he will be out of commission for some time. I kept

I just came across your post. I'm so glad that the acupuncture helped your meridians to open up. Grief has a way of sneaking up on you when your body needs to release the pressures of life. I think that

Italy is my all-time favorite country. I could live anywhere there. It is so beautiful, and the people are absolutely delightful. I love the lemon verbena, I bet it will do well in your climate.

How fun is that, all those vendors and so many people to watch. Loved the lady doing the watercolor painting. I bet you had a great time.

I know, Pam, but some of the hard work has to be downsized now when we are able to. I can't imagine how much it would be to hire someone in a few years. Landscape companies get a fortune just to trim bushes

Aw, thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement. We had a hard decision to make but in the long run it will be better for us. I would glady give you all the plants.

Well, I don't want to take them out, but being in your 70s and 80s makes it a bit harder to keep up.

Yep, Mike, that's about what happens to Whatshisname at this stage of life. Lol, you made me almost spit out my coffee. I have to have him come down and see your reply; he will get a big kick out of it.
