Today's pictures part one

The pictures I posted earlier today were taken a few days ago, so I just now went out and took some "current" ones.

Here is our backyard patio area. The only shade we have is from the patio umbrella, unfortunately, so when it gets hot we have to wait until a bit later in the evening to enjoy being out here. Late evenings are wonderful, sitting at the table with an aperitif, tiki torches lit, and the stars above.


One section of the vegetable garden, showing our corn, tomatoes, and various squashes. Methinks the squash will soon overrun everything else, but that's all right. We like squash!

My ever-growing herb garden! You can see how the lemon balm (center) has filled up its spot in the rock ring. Everything is growing beautifully!
