August Gardens

August gardens mean … loads of color, endless blooms, and (in my case) an over-abundance of yellow beans (brought on by my enthusiasm for planting seeds in the spring, no doubt)!

Sunday Night Wrap-Up

Oh Sunday night, we meet again. It was quite a lovely weekend, actually … the sun came out midday on Saturday and it was glorious.
