flying horse
I took the day off on Wednesday and went to our local Ann Arbor Art Fair which happens to be one of the largest in the country. We close down our streets in downtown Ann Arbor and it lasts for 4 days. I fell in love with this flying horse!

This week has been grueling working outside. We have been close to 100 most of this week. Lots of seeds don't like to sprout when it is this hot out. No dill or cilantro for a while.

Starting to bring in bundles of hydrangea. My customers just love these. This variety is Limelight. I ordered 28 plants of the Incrediball Hydrangea which I will plant this fall. I am hoping they will extend my season.

garlic harvest
Here is my garlic harvest for the year. They turned out beautiful. I bought some organic garlic from our local market. This garlic was locally grown, has a pink skin and it easy to peel. Oh and the taste is excellent.

Friends of ours live close by and they bought this go cart. Well they don't have anyplace to store it or ride. So they are leaving it with us and we can use it whenever we would like. Fun!
