There's squash, potatoes, apple trees and a couple of grapes growing now. A rustic bee house sits behind one bridge, next to a vegetable garden which holds okra, corn, beans, squash, cucumbers, onions, purple hull peas, peppers, iris, dewberries and grapes. On the other side of the bridge, leading around the back of the house, purple basil, coneflowers and larkspur grow wild through a stone path. Three friendly cats have the run of the outdoors, and enjoy taking a cool drink of water from a fish pond in the back yard. The pond creates a nice view for an outdoor screened patio.
More arbors lead to a mutli-sectioned garden on the north.
Those are swings and trapeze from my grandfather's yard. It's nice to see my grandkids play with the same stuff I did at their age. Grape vines trail over an arbor near dewberry vines growing in Thompson's garden. Don Alquist Sara said the best part of the whole growing process is sharing the wealth with others. You get three and share.
