The Late August Garden Before The Storm




       As we wait for Irene, I'm trying to decide what to pick and what to leave. Irene may not turn out to be much of an adventure, but the not knowing makes me glad that I am growing these things as a hobby, and not as a livelihood or main source of food.  Our local grocery store was running out of bottled water today, but I trust that it will be stocked up again before long.  Really it was not that long ago that there was no weather radio to give folks a chance to decide what to pick and what to leave.  I am a little anxious about this eggplant, and I do have the grocery as a back up.  -Polly

And...Another Little Trip




As the summer is winding down, we are trying to get to a few more of the activities and adventures on our summer list.  Now, the visit to the zoo is complete.  Also the horse back riding experiment.  Both went well. -Polly

Another Little Trip

Today we visited Coggeshall farm with two good friends.

 






These two turkeys seemed to be inseparable friends, probably siblings.  They moved, turned and walked together like a dancing couple, but they reminded me even more of the way a street sweeper moves. -Polly
