Mid-summer

Summer is always the worst time at work because everyone wants to be on vacation, meaning those of us left in the office are swamped. Thankfully the yard is taking care of itself and looking very lovely.

Beans back of house

The beans are going nuts. And the new bed along the back of the house is filling in and looking cheerful.
