Alas !!!

 Wow, I've been gone a long time from blogging...
but I'm back.  I've missed you.  I've read when I could but have seldom commented.  For that, I'm sorry.
It's good to see a sunrise with you again.  and sunsets.
Both of these were taken out of my windows.

The 1/2 acre garden in the first photo is of our pumpkin/potato/squash/gourd patch.  Last fall we fell hard to a severe hail storm that destroyed all the crops of our 3 gardens.  We do not give up easily.  We already have replanted the pumpkins, 840-some seeds, to be close in count.  We also have 5 -100 ft. rows of potatoes in the ground, Yukons, German Butterballs, Viking Purples,and Pontiac Reds.  We pray for a good year.  There will be a couple rows of squash, Butternut and Buttercups...
Come this fall and help yourselves to the pick of the crop.
There will be a wagon full at a time...and then some.

To keep occupied this spring, however, Bill had planted a little garden in the basement of tomatoes, peppers, cabbages, cauliflower, broccoli, cucumbers, cantaloupe, and more tomatoes, and more tomatoes, tomatoes coming out of our ears....
I started a few flowers, Allysum, Wave Petunia and Flax.

I've missed you all.  Tell me again, what you've been up to.
I shall return...did I say I missed you???

Stay Safe, travel safe with the summer vacationer traffic, and pray for good weather.
