Thanks, Holly and Stormy,


It will be a long time before our place looks as interesting as what I've seen in pictures and in person at your places. I don't think that we have enough time and energy left to get it all done, but it sure is fun trying.

Got my DH interested in building a small simple arch/arbor where my sombreil climbers can mark the entry/exit for my new garden bed. This will be the last new bed, I am sure. Can just about keep up with what I have now and DH was diagnosed with RA which we will try to keep under control.

I keep thinking about how DG will keep me always in the gardening loop although we may not be able to garden on a grand scale as we get older. Until then, we will keep digging, weeding, feeding and watering and taking great pleasure in the results.

You people are so inspirational to new gardeners. We had a tiny garden before we moved here 3 years ago and DG members were influential in so many ways to help us get this place looking so pretty that we don't miss our old digs. I also feel grateful for gaining so many new friends (DGr's) when I didn't even know my neighbors.

The small arbor will be placed where the lawn meets the mulched pathway. This new garden will be the only one that I can see from my deck (up high) and make the bilco door area a very pretty one when we have guests down on the lawn instead of up on the deck. I am hoping that we can all get together here sometime in September when my babysitting days are over for the grandchildren that will be back in school and my daughter will be totally recovered from her back surgery.

Regards,

Teri
