We’ve discovered the pond area is a good 10 degrees cooler than the front yard. Amazing. Jane had bought a bunch of sale plants from Wayside Gardens end-of-season sale. They arrived looking pretty sad, but should perk up a bit with sunlight and TLC. Hostas,...

…at Walmart, and is happy. I got one that says: “Instant Pirate. Add Rum.” And I also got something I had to ask myself if I needed, but yes. I need a place for my working papers and books instead of stacking them on the floor and getting them blown...
