I tried the 3 last yr. but it didn't do good. Maybe next yr. somewhere else. Ethan sure knows how to pick them. She's pretty. A Tennessean? Your gardens are looking great.
dear cheryl, it's true we need to look closely at all the truely wonderful things around us and breathe them in. i am grateful for so many blessings in my life. i really like that photograph of canaan in the sunflowers...dreamy.

I am a happily married woman of 27 years. I lived in Florida for 40 years and moved to Tn in 2000. We lived in the city of Brentwood for 6 years and move to Leiper's Fork in May of 2007. We have been in the country for about six years now on a 7.24 acre farm. We call it Dash Home Farm. Da-for Dave and Sh-for Sharon. We live in a victorian farmhouse made to look old(it acts old). We love the community of Leiper's Fork and the quaintness of the town (no lights).

Lovely photos Marmee, so much going on in your garden! I do love Cosmos, mine are so tall this year!
