Redoing the flagstones

Much of our Labor Day weekend was spent preparing the ground to enlarge and reset our flagstone patio. It was hard work, but we made it a lot easier by renting a front loader to move the sand and gravel.

Pamela acted as the forewoman of the work crew and Eric helped us for a few hours on Labor Day. We hope to have the job completed in time to have one more outdoor party with our friends.

Farmer John

John's garden was very productive this year. Here you can see one day's picking of green beans and cherry tomatoes. Also still producing are the cucumbers, green peppers, and Walla Walla onions...which are as big as softballs. The lettuce and spinich is done.

This year a deer fence kept those pesky thieves from getting all the tasty leaves.
