The Last Bed...

This time of year it is nice to have all of the garlic in, just one more bed to go...

It is a new bed and a lot bigger than most of the other beds. I made it on the boulevard and it has taken a lot of energy and time in the end, it is worthwhile.

This is the last of the garlic to be planted around 500.

Inside new work, storage area

This one  warms me up just looking at it

Rain-O ...

It has been raining, last night and all day and it is much appreciated. There is a chance of a couple more days or rain yet before the sun returns. There is nothing like mother nature watering the plants...

My favorite Day Lilly El Desperado, Buddy enjoying a dog chew, our $2 rose and the young bunny still hanging around.

Our local carving contest it always interesting!

A smokey sunset from the forest fires

I put up the flag on July 1st, some Day Lilies. Blueberries from the garden and working on the old family kitchen table that Dad built - I sort of remember it in the glassed in dining porch on the ranch way back in 1956 and it was part of family life through many moves until it settled in with me (my sisters were wondering where it was).  

Another sunset

Seaweed for the garden to keep the bugs off, Jelly Fish, Buddy and Taz trying to get my attention, Gai feather flowers.

Garlic scapes are ready, garlic and blueberries together. Everything has been ready early this year.

I hope everyone has been able to enjoy some of natures bounty and to spend some time with family and friends.

Now and Then...

With the ever changing weather on the Salish Sea side of Vancouver Island it gets me thinking of now and then...

Now

Now and a day before - Working on fence and flower bed, removed old posts, filled gaps with yellow cedar slabs and tagged old fence to new posts. Now ready to finish rails and slabs. 

Used landscape fabric (20 year) and filled space with blue crush, should control the weeds from next door. Took a few loads of good soil from the garden, will spread seaweed in that area to make more soil.

A corner from one of the docks I salvaged boards for fence from, it will be yard art. A fellow came along as I was trying to load it and gave me a hand, really appreciated that.  A Deer next door.

Summer Thoughts - I planted a lot of Garlic this fall. Is it to soon for seed catalogues ?

Leaving you with summer thoughts - Gay Feather, Scabiosa and Coreopsis, a large Hibiscus and a Dahlia.

 What helps you deal with the winter season?

Do you use vitamin D3? It's my Sunshine.

Maintenance now there is a word...

Maintaining upkeep of a car, a house, a healthy body and mind, of relationships, friendships, gardens, fences ( good fences make for good neighbors ), sometimes a gate is good...  

Mulch for yard and garden, weed and water maintenance, Carving needs... and my mothers Peace Rose

Draw Knives need Sharpening for working on fence posts, Rhodos need ....

Car Port needs new tarps Buddy needs love

Garlic needs attention, flowers need to be enjoyed

Have a Happy Day!

Keep Busy...Keep in Touch... Be Involved

Most people have faced battles with depression/ anxiety at different points in their lives. I have found that keeping busy and helping others with their problems make mine go away. I have been guilty of not keeping in touch. Having several friends pass on has caused me to change my ways. One thing that has become a passion, is Health and Wellness. I have been a Shaklee user for a lot of years as has my dad he is healthy and is on no medication (he turns 92 on Aug. 4th) Check my side bars for more information and opportunities.
