Last week I was at the garden to have a great time and as I drove up I saw some city utility vehicles across the way from the garden on the property that just sold. They were cutting down trees which made me a little uneasy. Are they going to be filling that 160 acres with houses? Or just one or two houses for the 2 men who bought the property? Perhaps they are cutting down all the trees? Or perhaps they are just cutting down trees to make way for some utility poles they are going to erect to send electricity & phone service to wherever they are going to build the houses? Either way, it was a little distressing to be honest.

A few days later I went back to see what had been done & they had cut down a 10 foot wide path down to the pond about 100 yards back from the road. There is also a new gate across from our driveway. I just hope the privacy remains. I also picked all the green tomatoes & peppers that were left on the plants because we had a frost coming up. Many of them have turned already so I have been enjoying them. I need to finish preparing the garden for next year & paint the words on the sign. Luckily the weather is still beautiful. 76 with a light breeze today – beautiful!
