It has been a rather stressful two weeks as I deal with family and
household situations, pushing limits emotionally and physically, but
one of the ways i find for stress releif is to get into the out of
doors whether walks with the dog and projects. the yard was exceedingly
overgrown and did a fairbit of pulling weeds and untangling of plants.
These hollyhocks show the wildness and as well, I stained the back deck
and railing....the angles and sides took hours! These are Evans
cherries and able to pick a few ice cream buckets as well as one of
Nanking Cherries to take to the lady in the local farmer's market. The
weather has been either very hot or overcast and stormy with just the
beginning touches of fall in the leaves, rosehips and new guinea
impatients plants which I was surprised growing wild. On our walks she
enjoys running in the ravine, nose into all places.
