Is Summer Going to Appear This Year?


Well ready or not, we're plunging in. Has the weather where you are been stranger than normal this year? My poor garden is so confused. But I have found one method that ANYONE can put together. Even the kids! I experimented with many different methods this year and the one that did the best is called "lasagna layering" which consists of placeing a layer of newspaper ANYWHERE, (on top of grass, weeds, dirt) and then putting 2" of peat moss shavings, organic matter (grass clippings) and water, making 5 layers. You can put it within a border or without. Then stick your plants in and keep them watered. They LOVE IT!!!
We are so excited about a sailing trip to the San Juan Islands coming up (courtesy of Uncle Sam). We'll take lots of pictures. We haven't been on a real vacation for years. Not that life hasn't been good! Don't get me wrong. But I'm feeling spoiled with this one. Like a 4th honeymoon. I guess that's not bad in 37 years! Yes, we sold or boat almost 2 years ago. I hope we can still remember how to sail. So what fun things have you all been up to??? Life is getting stressful for many of us; I hope you are able to take a fun break and forget the troubles in your life for a time. "Laughter makes the heart glad!"
