Yes, why grown grapes when they are on the side of your dirt road? LOL, I know in time you will figure it all out.

Your post makes me want to put my feet up and sip on a cool drink. Very refreshing! You know, that elephant ear makes a great fig leaf, at least for us older folks--better for modesty's sake than those tiny ones A & E had to make do with!walk2writehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501812375142037251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-49099250785184677552013-09-10T10:32:26.792-05:002013-09-10T10:32:26.792-05:00You got a good picture of the Henderson/Evansville...You got a good picture of the Henderson/Evansville bridge! You should've see it when they had it all clothed in dropcloths and were painting them! What a mess. I forgot to say I love the muscadine pictures. I am trying to figure out why the Farmer and I are growing them on our arbor since they grow wild so easily. May have to change that soon. The ones on our arbor are turning that purple nowtinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-73481453676663474752013-09-10T10:28:23.962-05:002013-09-10T10:28:23.962-05:00You have some beautiful photos!!

I love all of the flower photos, and it was great seeing Tina and Mr Farmer Fixit at their new property.

(Actually, I never gave such an assignment to my students:) ) The umbrella is such a neat trick--now why didn't I think of that! I can stay out working in the garden a lot longer if the sun isn't beating down on my head. Of course, we're in the middle of a heatwave this week--upRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.com
