Summer happened in CoVID -19 2020.

Glorious Peas!  Our gardens were exceptional this year.  A bounty of fruits and veggies. Spent hours upon hours in the gardens, weeding, waiting . . .




This is a turkey egg.
 

North garden was the Irish dream. Lavender, white and golden potatoes.  Big harvest this year.
