DOWN ON THE FARM

Mr. Don Juan is living up to his name.... Gladys is not the least bit impressed and wants nothing to do with him....

and Iris....well....she just wants a little peace and quiet....

the vegetable gardens.... a huge disappointment....oh... I did harvest peas for the fourth of July....then things pretty much went down hill....no eggplant....broccolli....beets....or tomatoes...that's right no tomatoes, how can you not have tomatoes? I am stumped as to the cause....The good news is I did discover a cantaloupe (key word a )....a pumpkin.... butternut squash and cucumbers....so much for this growing season....even the basil bolted.... my green thumb.... wilted....the truth is I am ready for Fall...it seems the older I become the less I enjoy summer.... I knew this to be true when I saw Halloween decorations this morning in Michaels ....yup I'm ready....bring on the orange and black.... Finally, dear bloggers I am in need of your advice. I am of the mindset to remove the rhododendrons which are located in the front of our home. I would like to replace them with Tree Hydrangeas, but am still on the fence about this....measure twice cut once thinking....once cut there is no going back....


Winslow Homer appears to be pondering the situation, how about you, what do you think?
