That being the case, I’ll show you the current state of my garden. I’ll start with the top photo … Continue reading SIX ON SATURDAY: January 1, 2022
Six on Saturday: Almost Too Perfect
After a stormy start to this week, the past few days have been spectacular. Mid 70s, very low humidity (rare!), sunny with a little breeze.

SIX ON SATURDAY: End of March 2021
This week ushered in heavy rain and scattered thunderstorms for part of at least three days. Thankfully, we didn't have tornados as they did in the other parts of the state. I got a little work done in the yard, but not nearly what it needs. A new yard guy was supposed to start Tuesday, … Continue reading SIX ON SATURDAY: End of March 2021
