    Looks very peaceful. Willie would be one of my top celebs to road trip with I think. I would imagine the stories he could tell would fill the whole trip.

    Nice garden tour. Coleus is a great plant.It thrives even in shade and has so much color in the leaves.

    Willie Nelson, that's better than even that beautiful garden. What fun to be in one place long enough to enjoy this.

    Wow--beautiful! Glad to see you're home again, though I'll miss your amazing travel photos.

    Everyone I know who grew lettuce had it bolt very quickly; broccoli as well (before they even got florets). I think we all had a too-hot-too-fast summer.

    Delightful. I think you must be planning to stay put until fall, because who could leave such a beautiful, peaceful place when it's in bloom?

    Yes to Willie - he played a concert here last year. Great show - I hope your concert was as good as ours.
