Michael

Here's a shot of Michael waiting for me this morning while I was taking a few pictures of the cranberry bog.

Cranberry Bog in Sandwich

This morning on our way to work we took Rt. 6A instead of getting on Rt. 6 to get over the Sagamore Bridge to Rt. 3. I had Michael pull over so I could get a couple of shots of a cranberry bog that has been going through a transformation of sorts. Read in the local paper that the guy who owns this bog has removed all the old plants, reworked the soil, the irrigation system, small canals, brought in new sand and all new plants. The new plants are a hybrid with a harvest in three year of over three times the harvest of last year. He also owns over a 1,000 acres of bogs on the Cape and in Southeaster Massachusetts and will be doing the same thing to the other bogs he owns. It was interesting to watch the progress all summer. All the new plants are in and it should take three years for a harvest.

There are a few of these grasses, they are over 4 feet wide at the base and I think the spread is over 8 feet, and 6 feet tall. I need to dig them up and using a sawed to cut the root ball. I think there might be over 20 plants when there cut. I'm hoping to put the above the new retaining walls that will be going up in the back yard. Once the grasses are replanted to their new home they should grow to a good size and give some privacy to the pool area from the street.

Zinnas, Pink False Dragon Flowers, Blackeye Suzans and another flower that I don't know the name of that has passed it prime.

Picture this moring from the garden

Believe it or not I had a couple of minute to spare this morning before leaving for work and thought I'd take a couple of pictures from different gardens in the yard. I noticed when downloading the pictures I have a lot of Black Eye Susans. The shot aboove is from the front garden. the others will be from the side garden, between the house and two car garage.

Song List

Here's a picture of the white liliesin the late evening. This garden is between the house and two car garage. Everything is blooming right now, I'm loving it. I'll be posting a different picture from each garden everyday.

Last night got my hair cut, late appointment, 8:30 and didn't get home till after 10:00. Came in, fed Pumpkin, then got ready for bed, 5 AM come pretty early Monday through Friday for work.

I asked Lori here at work to make me a CD with some old Disco songs. Lori put them all on one CD, Michael and I have been listening to it on our round trips from the Cape to work and back to the Cape. It helps when we lose the radio signal.
