and being in a private environment and running around in your birthday suits all the time, with only the occasional embarrassment is well worth it to us - bahahahah! much love to you and yours, sweet Jane!

he also has a blueberry orchard and we help him pick the berries that he sells commercially and we get paid in blueberries - he's got the best blueberries in the world! we still have a few pounds worth in the freezer that will take us through until we get to this blueberry harvesting time. and then we'll get paid in blueberries again. to us, a week's worth of picking is well worth getting 25lbs of gorgeous blueberries.<br /><br />and winter is not right around the corner ya nutbar - bahahahah!

i let jam sleep until he finally woke up by himself. i was going to wake him and move him to the couch or bed but he was in a really deep sleep and i didn't want to disturb him. and yes, during blackfly season he wears his tighty-whities while he works, but as soon as mid-july comes, the black flies are gone and then we are totally undressed in the garden - we love it!

If you start seeing several delivery people hanging out, you'll know that delivery guy talked!!!!<br /><br />I love your idea with the mini greenhouse (plastic surrounding) to protect your tomatoes. We used plywood as wind breaks.<br /><br />This picture of the clouds, and sun looks like a cross trying to shine through the clouds and over to your place.<br /><br />To get rid of those flies try making a fly trap by using a jar of large size and place sugar, soda, and any other sweet item capable of attracting flies in it. Place the lid and make holes large enough to let the flies enter and keep it in a corner. Flies will get attracted towards the sweet food, enter into the jar and get entrapped.<br />http://www.buzzle.com/articles/home-remedies-to-get-rid-of-black-flies.html<br /><br />Also planting marigolds help deter these flies which become nuisances. <br /><br />Enjoy your beautiful weather.
