Fall is beginning to slowly creep in. We're getting more gray, damp days with fewer sun breaks. The tomatoes and cucumbers have been quite prolific this year and I can still harvest more for a few days yet. I have collected a few old french doors from the local thrift shop and have started the cold frame construction around the lemon tree and passion flower. A few of the more tender potted plants will reside in there for the winter
I love the colors our hydrangea displays at the end of the growing season.
We have continued to cobble together more and ever higher fencing. The front yard is a virtual stockade with 5-6 foot fences in an attempt to keep Rhody contained. He does multiple perimeter patrols and has kept us busy building, repairing, or strengthening the fence. So far we have 3 or 4 kinds of chicken wire, chain link, stick pickets, logs, 2x6's, deer fencing, tent pegs and etc. making up the barricade. Both of the puppies weighed about 40 lbs at their 5 month vet visit.
Ron had an x-ray last week and we teleconferenced with the thoracic surgeon yesterday. The x-ray looks good and his next test will be a CT scan in 6 months. He has put a bit of weight back on and is looking so much better. He says he feels more like himself again too. We feel very blessed to have his health returned to him again.
