Autumn Good Things
What? Autumn Again? I must admit that this is a favorite time of year. So many vivid colors just about everywhere. I ran across this pretty plant shining in the sun the other morning.

Garden Boxes and Wild Rose Island Camp

Are you planting a garden this year? I am excited! For the first time in mmmffff years, I am going to grow veggies! I asked my handyman, Aaron, to build one.
