those are awesome pics, Nancy! You caught all of late summer just right.
thanks for posting,

love the shot of you guys in the canoe! :^)
and your raised bed is beautiful — i loved my new veg garden so much this summer; i can’t believe i went so long between gardens.
thanks! this is our first raised bed and I like it so much better than the traditional row garden. we are just getting some little green tomatoes and two softball size watermelons are growing. just hope the bugs stay away:)
You had me at that grin– and the rest of the photos spoke to my heart….time outdoors, time with family, natural garden rhythms– what more could you ask for in the end of summer??
