45 and counting here. All good, but the best part is the years together keep getting better. :-)
Most dissapointing plant this year
Gardengus and ardesia, it does seem to go that way in a happy marriage I think. When I was young, I don't think I appreciated Russ as much as I do now. The longer we're married the more I love him too, and the times together do get more special.
I am applauding as we speak.
I have many talents ,but choosing the right man isnt one of them
Beware if pirl sends you a cherry pie...
But at least you're happy in your own skin, Jo Ann.
You got that right.
I had a couple of proposals along the way but they wanted me to take care of them.
I dont see that as "pulling equally in harness" or an equal partnership.
I have no idea when my plants will bloom .I 'm hoping fall.

I was out taking pictures yesterday and there are still garden places that look great.
The temp here now is 38*
There will be frost one day soon.
No rain for weeks has anuals that are left, drooping and looking sad
In the far background is my neighbors Black Raspberry bed.
YES its filled with weeds
I am glad they are east of us and the wind blows past us to them.
They just dont get it.
Luckily, I've always had neighbors who really cared about their plants and gardens. Zuzu hasn't lucked out that way and has a neighbor who has an overgrown mess.
Its maddening.
The boys tended the raspberries when they were home and picked them and made pies.This spring the father and 3 sons made the bed bigger. The bushes nearly all died as they were dug in late June.
They watered the dickins out of them and in late August all the kids but 2 (out of 7) went to new jobs or back to collage.
They never weeded the new patch all summer.The rest of the property looks just as messt.
They DO mow the lawn.

Your picture looks like fall, Jo Ann. It's lovely though. And I can't wait until next year to see how everything leaps.
