- I always enjoy the group emails Doug sends out about what is available. The one that came yesterday ended with this: "The competition is mean out there. First the rabbits eating 280 out of 500 sweet potatoes plants, and now the field rats (I think) are digging out the sweet potatoes and eating half of it, and move on to the next one. I just have to grow enough for everyone." So instead of being impatient, he just compensates by providing enough for the four-legged creatures, too. What a nice man.
- There's a new baby in our family. Born to niece Abby - Sawyer, weighing in at 8 pounds, 5 ounces. That's a big name to live up to, but so far he is quite laid back and just wants to sleep. A man after my own heart.

Hi Lynn - I see what you mean for a visit ... grow sufficient, the season will slowly wear down, but life is all around us ... baby son - how lovely for the family and for you as a great aunt I guess ...
Cheers Hilary
A big welcome to Sawyer. And I hope he lives up to his name (in the fullness of time).
Our neighbors garden has suffered mightily. Their health plus the extreme heat and varmints have brought most of the bounty to an end. However it kept us all very well for quite a while. Plus I got two nice watermelons yesterday.
Oops, I forgot congrats on Tom..I mean Sawyer:)
Pumpkins, already?? Time is passing very quickly.....Congrats on the lovely new edition to your family.....Sawyer is such a nice name!
Congrats on the new baby! And you have to love a farmer with a sense of humor. :)
Yes, congrats on being an aunt again!!
Lovely photo, pretty colors. Yes, he sounds like an extremely nice man. I would not have quite his patience with the critters.

Congratulations on the new baby in the family, Lynn! We too, have a new Grandbaby~~the first! Kieren Simon! Born to my step-daughter out in sunny CA!! Yea! Enjoy the lovely end of summer weather, Lynn!
Congratulations to your niece on the birth of her son. He's a big boy and I imagine he is a bit tired. At least his mama gets some rest now:~)
I like the emails you get from Doug and do appreciate what you said about growing enough to share with the critters...not many gardeners are so nice.
My flowers are also looking slightly weary, but that's August for you!
Awwww...a new baby...how wonderful. They're precious little things...to be loved, protected and cherished. :)
We all expect a few pumpkin pies from you soon, Lynn. :)
Congratulations! And we had some of our own tomatoes tonight - YUM. It makes me realize how much everything at the store sucks.
My Tomatoes are going strong now- Paying alot for sweet potatoes here too- Love them. Tough to keep the critters off-
Congrats on Sawyer, Auntie! I know he'll bring you so much joy
Sawyer is an unusual name. Congrats!
