Added Self-Reliance, or "I LOVE my garden!"

I love this time of year after I've spent most of the spring and summer weeding and the garden is finally looking good. Well, most of it. It's a lot of work. Often I think I need to downsize, it's too much work! But once it's done, it feels worth it. Yesterday I hauled the second load of bark for the pathways. Whew. And I don't even have a pick-up truck so I have to hand shovel it in and out. Once it's all finished I revel in the beauty.

Time for a tour!
