After much pruning, raking and clearing out...found ground!

About Me
- Margo
- I work. I write. I eat. I garden. I travel. I hike, camp and take photos.
I watch a few movies and read far more books, and try to keep up on my email correspondence.
I need a 36-hour day.

OOOoohhh, that would make AMAZing compost/mulch. Next trip to Maine, I know what your return trip car is gonna smell like!
Oh you know it! Sadly, I completely spaced out on picking some up. It was more important that last day to just sit and read on the beach for a while and enjoy the quiet...oh well. :) July will be here soon!
