where did summer go?

The window box in full bloom, I should have planted my tomatoes up there, the deer can't climb!
My little garden friend!


I cannot believe that tomorrow, our son Corey starts his junior year of high school! Markie, who left me to go off to college last year, is home and doing a semester on line. My oldest son Adam has also gone back to school to study to be a chef, and my daughter Taryn, is also in school studying to be a motorcycle mechanic and is at the top of her class! So all my kids are in school! Mom and Dad, well we just work! I just don't know where the summer went, why does time fly by so fast? before I know it, it will be Christmas, and cold!
 I already am thinking about my garden for next year, and have got to come up with some ways to outsmart the damn deer who have eaten every tomato I grew! I have bought tomatoes all summer! They ate my roses, and even nibbled on my sedum's. I really am not sure how those creatures can still get up and move they must be so fat! and if they were polite southern deer, they might think about leaving a few tomatoes behind for the growers of their delightful late night meals!
