Garden Tour

Can't believe it has been over two weeks since I sat down to write ,but it is our busy season, so I am forgiven, right? Also, the garden tour is this Sunday and between terribly hot weather and a full house, I have not had a lot of time to spend in the garden this past week. It amazes me how many weeds can grow in less than a week. But I guess I have to go with whatever I can do and hope for the best. I have been spending 5 - 8 hours a day out side for the past two months, so all the gardens have had some love and attention.

In my "spare" time I am reading "The Candy bombers" about the Berlin airlift and Hal Halverson who dropped candy to the German children in little parachutes he fashioned out of handkerchiefs. My father was the operations officer of the Berlin end of the Airlift and we lived in Berlin for two and a half years back in 1949. I recognize so many of the names, many who actually came to our house for parties.
