pretty pink princess

Every little girl gets to be a princess for Halloween. If they want to be one. There is so much ambient glitter in our house

Frantic

I got a message from our neighbor in Maine last night. Something is eating my trees. I don't know if it is deer or bugs or moose, but it must be on a level so bad that she would call about it.

It makes me sick to think about it.

This is not a good remote gardener kind of week. It's incredibly frustrating to have such a beautiful spot and well prepared garden, and it is so far away. As its caretaker, I am irresponsible for leaving it.

Dear Orchard In Maine, I miss you. Don't get eaten. Thanks. Love your Long Distance Admirer.

Fruit

With six apple trees, three plum trees and three cherry trees, we got our first fruit this past summer. Miss Critterpants and i split it. It was the most delicious half of a cherry ever tasted!
