Think about it!
We have been busy with the garden! Removing summer plants can be a lot of work, but it’s great that it’s looking good now. It’s always satisfying to see the progress after putting in several hours of hard work. And it’s a good idea to finish everything before the next mid-November cruise. We will get the soil turned and ready for planting just before Halloween!
Gardening requires lots of water—most of it in the form of perspiration.

Tearing out the summer garden was work!
When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.
While cleaning out the garden, Mary found hidden veggies. She made a stuffed bell pepper dish with a green stir-fry.

We are still finding veggies!
We watched Hocus Pocus II and laughed all the way through the movie. I also treated her to a dose of Elvira, Mistress of the Night. Corny as ever but very funny. Elvira is the same age as Mary!

Her movie comments are priceless.
But in real life, she is Cassandra Petersen.

Amazing!
We hit the sack at 8:00 p.m., recovering from last week’s adventure to the East Coast!
