Tailgate Productions - Backyard Homestead

This is what I was able to plant in the garden..... When MS Steph would go and run earrens..... I would get out of bed and work the garden.....I would be back in bed by the time she got home..... Think she knew?

Ms. Steph is out running errands. Being home alone is a great reason to break all the rules for getting well and head outdoors and catch up on a little gardening.... The cat is away the mice will play..... She will never know.....

Changes in the weather, Changes in the in the water and that means TIME to start new adventures...... Lets get WET .......Have a great day
