I’ve been spending so much time out gardening I haven’t had time to read all my blogs. I’ve been planting alyssum, nicotiana, verbena, superbells, petunias, zinnias (5 different kinds) along with all my veggies. This sure is an exciting time in the garden, I can’t wait till August when everything is in full bloom!

That turkey showed up one day and decided to stay. We keep her as a sort-of pet. Sort-of because she’s not affectionate or interested in humans, but she’s interesting to watch.
