...photographic proof...

You'll notice to the left that those shoes - the ones that were NOT made for walkin' - have been replaced with a springy porch photo. But even better: the photographic evidence you've been waiting for!!!!! Luckily K had enough wits about him to capture the strangeness of the vegetarian marching band:

But wait there is indeed more. After killing more aphids (I'm enjoying this way too much), I planted three more window boxes, two pots of basil, impatiens, peppers, yellow bell tomatoes.

I also planted more parsley, chives, and dill, which, as fate may have it, was the working title of a famous Simon and Garfunkel song before a frost struck Corona, NY and killed two of their plants. It being early in the seasoning.. they went to the store to replace them, and could only find rosemary. Art got confused when Paul made the sage remark, "If only we had more thyme...." Thus the birth of a song. I'll bet you never knew that.

(Okay, okay. shoot me later.)

So now there's been enough planting of seeds that I've had to move several plants to the upper deck, which has become the tomato deck:

Nice, huh?

But wait. There is indeed more. Here's the spice corner with my favorite pansies, marigolds, camomile, and lilac. The lantern is solar.

And here is the view right out our back door.

More of the seedlings - and OF COURSE the FRONT PORCH!!! - as warranted....
