  6. Wow...your chair plant is so huge and so pretty! We still have a lot of things blooming here, usually things are dying off by now.

    I wish we had a farmer's market...I would go every week.

    My dad leaves tomorrow to drive (eek) home for 2 weeks, so I'll be living with my daddy for a while again too. I can't wait for him to get here.

  8. We are having cooler weather, but still a few weeks away from leaves changing.

    My mom has been busy with her garden, not small but huge, now she is canning and putting corn in the freezer, making jams, salsa, etc. We all get to enjoy that during the winter.

    Hope you are doing well Maria!!
