Haha, that makes two of us!
I keep a blog too, mostly for my own sake, to remember things and such. If anyone else likes it too it’s a bonus.
I really like your blog anyway!

[...] and uploading them was slow, and the results less than stunning. The first time I read a blogger complaining about blogs without pictures I was brought up short. I was a writer, not a photographer! But after thinking it over, I realized [...]

Our weather here in western pennsylvania went the same. Hot, hot summer with little rain and now some relief here in September. Took long enough.

I got my revenge though and planted a fall garden. Broccoli raab is doing great as is lettuce, carrots and chard. Wished it could have been more but I never got the 2 additional raised beds built I had planned on.

Here in the foothills of the central Cascades asters and joe pye may bloom a bit in August but don’t really come into their own until mid-September so I’d call them early autumn flowers. Dahlias are usually late summer blooming but this year, thanks to slugs repeatedly mowing down the young plants, they are just beginning to form buds.

Actually, he wrote gardening columns for a newspaper, which were later compiled into a book. To write a gardening column for a newspaper interesting enough that non-gardeners would read it, that is skill–and art, indeed. I aspire to such writing.

Henry Mitchell wrote plenty of fantastic gardening books without padding them with photos.

My page is sad and tired and in need of an updated entry… soon… soon…

Haven’t graduated to a digital but am thinking about it. Have always been interested in photograpy Per se, and will have to get a good one to satisfy myself. We had a straightline windstorm up here in the UP last Tuesday, but where some got up to 2 ” of rain, it seems to have misssed our area. We weren’t here, having run into it a couple of hours east of here on our way south to Lake Michigan, and there was really a lot of rain involved. At least the fire danger is down and it is cooler. (70s)My garden is definitely cottage style, but with no vegetables, unless you count the hanging pots of strawberries in the middle. They are beginning to show signs of bearing again. I have a few hundred (it seems) plants to pot up thanks to the gerosity of a friend downstate and a sister. I like to share them with my clients.

The camera actually belongs to my daughter. She bought it (with some help from siblings) when our old family digital camera broke. I thought I’d look over the instruction manual while eating breakfast one day, and discovered it was a book (even after you subtracted out the other languages)! So I followed Bill’s method yesterday. I thought I had taken 5 shots of this scene, but there were only 2 on the memory card. Guess I better study the manual.
