Summer

My sister Nancy says she's getting tired of seeing the deck furniture post at the top of my blog. Since I'm still waiting for my new siding to be put on (since April...) there's not much construction activity at the house. I'm actually getting to enjoy lots of time on the deck with friends and explore the upper Delaware River Valley. I hired someone to deal with the lawn, since I don't want to meet my death on the riding mower on the steep slope, and weed whacking is just NO FUN. Here are some pics of the herbs I'm growing (basil, parsley, thyme, rosemary, sage.) The one with the white edges is pineapple sage, and I just bought it because it was pretty. The plants LOVE the deck and grew like crazy after I planted them. I'm also trying to get the morning glories to climb the railings - we'll see how that goes - they really have a mind of their own!
