JUNE NEWS

June 14, 2018  was our 65 years of marriage.
We fell in love 69 years ago and lived
through a  time of 2 years when my husband 
was in the service of our country. No dear John letters
did I send I waited for him to come home to me.
We have enjoyed traveling  in most of the states, 
London, and Europe my favorite  country is Switzerland.
We spent several February at Daytona Beach, Florida and
our children would join us for a week too.
Now we grow a big garden and walk each day and enjoy giving
produce to our family and friends,
So while my husband works in garden I sew and quilt 
things for the family and friends.

May is garden time but it has
been so cold here in Ohio.


These are broccoli plants .
 

 This is the hot bed you can see the lettuce
that is up and Rhubarb in background picture.

They have to be water faithfully since they
are under glass.
