My title comes not from a description of a tranquil place but more a temporary state. As I trimmed back the tomato plants and weeded yesterday the boys were waging war. For one reason or another. Finally I had heard enough and both boys were sent screaming from the backyard to their rooms for time outs…landing me 10 minutes of quiet time in the yard to take a few pictures to share with you. The garden has been such a pleasure this year and very much a learning experience. It’s great that even though we aren’t experts that our plants still grow and change, despite us!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We’re crossing our fingers that the peak of harvest isn’t while we are in Texas in a few weeks! I guess worst case scenario our neighbors will enjoy it for us!
