Very funny about the horses, SW. But so true, especially now that the rainy season approaches. Told DH I cannot stand to have those things roaming free if their corrals flood again. Suggested fencing off a section (about a third) of the yard where the garage is for them to be 'out', but he said they need to be able to run in circles around the house, so a fence around the house, encompassing the 'garden' would be better. Considering the effort and $ to do either of those, it is unlikely to happen. So, expect to hear screaming from this neck of the woods when we get considerable rainfall.

I did not get near the crop from my veggies in 5 gallon pots this year as I did from the straw bales last year. Nevertheless, the tomatoes are attempting a last hurrah as I see many new green ones and blossoms. They like these warm, not hot days, but the cool evenings are likely to do them in. SW, our neighbor's Pomegranates are red.

DD and I went to Cincinnati for my niece's wedding on Oct 1 and we had a great time with family. Here is a shot on my sister's deck there in Cincinnati (OMG look at that green and those woods behind her house) of my 3 sisters and DD.
