 The lilac bush in the winter of 2012. This was the only measurable snow we had!

 The lilac bush in bloom way too early - in May of 2012.

The lilac bush, devastated by the drought, the summer of 2012. 

 This is my moonflower. It is absolutely huge! It has had over 50 blooms so far this summer.
I tell people it is planted in an atomic dump or this spot was the place where the cows shat way back when this was a farm. I like the "atomic dump" story the best.

If you go back a way in this blog, you will see the garden when we first planted it. Here it is now. The tomato plants are growing out of their cages, giving us lots and lots of tomatoes. Also have rosemary, basil and green peppers. In the background is Fran's convertible.

 Another shot of the garden and the lovely flowers Fran has planted.

 These are the steps up to Fran's apartment. She has lined the steps with potted flowers! It is such a
beautiful sight to behold!

 More of Fran's handiwork in the front yard. Fran said she does this because it keeps her out of trouble. I haven't the slightest idea what kind of trouble she could get into! Does she have a secret I don't know?

 Here is our lovely house, made beautiful by Fran's plantings. And below is.......

                      FRAN!! She potted some flowers from the garden to put on the front steps.
                      More beautification! I am proud to have Fran as a neighbor and love our Main St. look!
