Mrs. McGregor's Garden

Years ago, when Tom and I built this place, we decided that we would not put in a yard. We are here to play, and after all we are in the Rocky Mountains.

So, most of our "yard" looks like this a la natural

We do however, get excited when we spy a colorful weed.

So, you can imagine our excitement, when the town announced that they were leasing garden plots, in the community garden, for the whole summer at a very nominal fee. Steve, showing us how to turn on the water hose.

It didn't take me long to turn over the soil. We (my husband Tom and I), know nothing about gardening...Although I did recognize that there was lettuce already growing in our plot.

Meet our friends Kerry and John. They also have a house in Ft. Worth...where we winter

John, by the way, just retired as a long time executive with a major Beer Company. As you can see, he is already enjoying his retirement.

Back to my yard. We do actually have some colorful Lupine blooming at the moment. You guessed it.... over the septic tank.

Maybe later in the summer, I can show you all of my abundant produce :)
