Sheilah my friend


Every week I visit my friend Sheilah Hackford, who is from Cornwall, originally. She used to be a nurse in the British army during WW II and she worked as a nurse when she came to America in the 1950's. She has so many wonderful stories to tell. Yesterday I took her to the cemetery to see the graves of 2 of her grandchildren who have passed away. She is one of my best friends.

Garden Spot




I have been thoroughly enjoying a garden this year. I planted beets, pole beans around corn stalks, bush beans, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and zucchini. It has been so fun to see things grow again. So far I have only harvested 4 cherry tomatoes (yummy, though!) and 1 cucumber. It is so worth it!!!
