MIA No MO (plus some catch up posts)

I've been really busy but mainly too frustrated to post. My 2006 Compaq desk top has become extremely slow and prone to locking up. I've tried to download pictures to blog but have quit in frustration every time. Since today I have a useless holiday and my plans of cleaning my basement (Did I previously mention we currently no longer have any adult children at home?)have been put on hold with the rain as I don't want to walk water all over the basement floor as I haul out garbage and items my kids didn't want. I'm going to try to get back to posting regularly.

Here's a couple of pics from back in September when the garden was still producing regularly.
