Daylight starting to get shorter.

This amazing acacia was growing and growing for months at our neighbors and I've been watching it. I kept expecting it to bloom on full moons, but it never did. It was supposed to "once" in it's life. Instead the poor dear plant just fell over.

 

Sheon and David visited Mom and Frank in Montana! David's first time there. I couldn't be there, but seriously, knowing that Sheon got time there with Mom and Frank made it feel so okay I couldn't!

I got drum lessons for the boys. It was a Christmas present, and summertime was the time to "capitalize"!  (I actually had a lesson for me alone half a year earlier~ since I never stop talking about not being chosen to play drums when I was 10 years old. I tried, and it was great but... I'm not aiming to be a drummer now! ; )

 

In the garden. I love watching the sunflowers, turned towards the morning sun...

...then come evening turned, facing the sun setting the opposite direction. Miraculous!

A new friend came, to garden together! The moon time was right for planing  root growing plants. Here, a couple weeks later, radishes, daikon, turnips and carrots. She taught me fertilizing and placing that white plastic between rows to keep the soil a bit damper.

This one zucchini~ all standing up against the pole there was funny. There's so much garden stuff, and I had gotten exasperated, but that friend helped make it feel hopeful and positive again.

Zen! A fish he caught!! Sheon was fishing in Montana too~ same time? Sheon was able to unhook the fish off the hook! I didn't imagine she could.

LEVANGA! Talking to fans. Ever so grateful to see all the photos of the team come around.

The TEAM! With their new "imports" arrived and they look GREAT!
