Only a few more days of school. The neighborhood pool is already open, and we're ready for summer. Lots going on in the garden! I'll update soon.
Last weekend we had a front yard tomato seedling sale. My neighbor friend and walking partner Julie and her kids came over to help and to run the lemonade stand. We put these signs up around the neighborhood.
This is my next door neighbor Jeri on her way over to patronize the lemonade stand and thrill the kids.
The kids had fun at first, but it was so windy that there wasn't much walking-by traffic for their lemonade.
Julie helping.
We had a bake sale too. It took forever to make everything, organize the plants and make the signs, set it all up. D got called in to work for the whole day Saturday, so I was on my own. I thought about canceling, but I had already put an ad in Craigslist. Then the gale-force winds started. They blew down all our signs within the first half hour. The plants all blew over and some broke. The kids took shelter under the tables. At one point the wind picked up a kids' chair and blew it down the street. The best laid plans . . . it was discouraging. I did sell a few plants and met some interesting neighbors and got some gardening advice.
