It has been a hectic and busy summer so my poor husband hasn't had the time or energy to put all his efforts into his favorite pastime, gardening. Still, when you wander through our backyard, there are signs of growth and the hope for some fresh tomatoes and peaches on the horizon. Even my beloved pomegranate tree might actually produce some fruit this year. Both orange trees are doing their best. One of them provided oranges from November until April of this year.The garden out back, such as it is, inspired me to try out a new pattern on my embroidery machine which it turn inspired me to take a moment here.
We do have a relatively new dog, however, that takes a reprimand very well and when he chewed up one hose, was very sorry and avoided it after that . . . except he chewed up another hose. We now know we have to point out each and every thing that he may not chew. Not all garden varmints are of the bug and creepy crawler persuasion!
