Much to Sylvia’s delight, garden output is slowing. Most of the zucchini and tomatoes are in their final stages of production. Everything has done so well except for parsnips and carrots. Neither germinated at the first planting. (Perhaps we got some bad seed?) Carrots did germinate at second planting, but are not yet ready for harvest. Sad to say, no parsnips for this year.
Our garden looked like this last week:
Compare that to a year earlier:
Special Day
It was 55 years ago today that Sylvia and I made our vows to one another. In some ways it seems a lifetime ago, and in others like it seems like it was only yesterday.
We are enjoying a quiet day. This evening we’ll go to our favorite restaurant and have a scrumptious dinner.
I didn’t read this in time to wish you a happy anniversary so instead we will wish you a wonderful 56th year of togetherness.
Thanks. We are off to a good start.
Happy Anniversary! I hope your dinner was lovely. :awe:
And hurrah for a bountiful harvest (in your life, and in your garden). :dance:
That dinner was beautiful.
Life has been good to us.
Happy, happy anniversary!!!! True love lasts forever!!! :frolic: :clap:
Thanks, Joy. You speak true words. :dance:
Happy Anniversary! That is certainly a long time and an excellent commitment and inspiration for us all. Wishing you a pleasant dinner with your best gal!
While it is sad to see summer winding down, I do love the “carefree” days of autumn and winter, when there is less outside work to be done. I don’t think I would ever like to live in Florida where there is year-round outside maintenance. I like the break!
Thanks, Lin. We had an exceptionally pleasant dinner and carried home a bit more so there was room for tiramisu.
It is good to come to the end of the harvest rush. Also, I agree that it is better to winter-over at home.
55 years means a half century.
The garden now and it was a year back.
There is no difference in the measurement. Both are equal.
Time and numbers are curious things.
Happy Anniversary to a GREAT COUPLE! you finally caught up to us. God Bless. Theron & Helen
:frolic:
I don’t think we can ever catch up to you two. Sylvia agrees that you and Helen are couple we can look up to.
