Good evening!! It's been a beautiful summer day here in Southern Michigan!! 85 degrees with lots of breezes and the humidity wasn't too bad...perfect day to be outside!!
Fred's garden is growing really well...our neighbors kept it watered while we were on vacation for over a week. (Got home this past Saturday) It was in the 90's everyday we were gone so it was imperative that it got watered and they did a great job. Also kept our fish pond filled (was having a little problem overflowing in the back) and also watered all my flowers!!
Here are a couple photos I took today of the garden..the first one is the gate to the garden and the sign on it was a birthday gift for Fred from our daughter Pam and her hubby.

This one is a picture of the first sunflower of the season!!
We have had a lot of cucumbers out of the garden and a couple summer squash, peppers, onions and it won't be long until the tomatoes start ripening..there are "LOTS" of green ones!!
It's been so nice to see Fred enjoying the garden..in the last couple years the rabbits and other critters have eaten most everything as soon as it's planted so with the new fence it's been wonderful to not have this problem.
We had a wonderful time with our kids and their families last week. We stayed at a cabin near West Branch Michigan on Twin Lake...3 of our kids stayed there also and the other 2 and their families came and spent a lot of time with us during the daytime.
On Tuesday we all took a day trip to Mackinac Island to celebrate Christmas in July with our granddaughter who lives on Mackinac Island year round and didn't get home for Christmas last year..I will post a separate post about our wonderful day real soon!!
Planning on being more diligent about blogging but I find myself enjoying the outdoors so much that the computer isn't a priority with this wonderful weather!!

Hi Mum! I was thrilled when I found a new post from you! Always a treat to read & find out what you have been up to. I loved the garden pictures. Wish we had one. Must be so neat to just walk out & pick what you want to eat! Do you can??
I'm glad you are having weather that's enjoyable to you. I know you have some snowy winters, so enjoy it all that you can. :)
Have a wonderful Friday Mum. Hugs!
Hi Alice!! Your garden is beautiful. Have a nice weekend. ((BIG HUGS))!!
I LOVE sunflowers and yours are so pretty! I'm going to try to have a container garden here since I rent and don't want to plant anything I can't take with me. Lovely photos!
