This year our sunflowers are
three different colors. They have
names like “Lemon Eclair,” “Sun

will enjoy the seeds.

of holly. A third kind, that we
have around our front porch, is
covered with red berries this year.
Some years there are only a few
berries for the birds to eat and for
me to use as decorations.
Speaking of decorations, this

My husband has been working
hard to help me start a new iris
bed. He bought old railroad ties
and dug them in at the base of a
big hill. One obstacle that we had
to overcome was the activities of
our cats at nighttime they
scratched the bare roots out of the
ground. So, he covered the plot
with fencing and posts.
This year our peaches and our
pears rotted on the trees. And, our
cherry trees lost their leaves after
the fruit was picked. Next year we
shall have to do more spraying.
