We are back in Indiana for the summer! I can't tell you how happy I am to be back "home".
I have already been out shopping for plants at the local nursery's and bought the annuals for all my large containers. It did get near freezing last night, so they are safely tucked away for now in the studio where my seed flats of veggies are happily sitting under grow lights. I have to say the studio looks more like a greenhouse then a working studio at the moment.

As usual we had some trouble getting the house in order this year. There is always something that goes wrong....this years problems included some rather nasty customer relations issues. First the phone company didn't have "room" on there service for our DSL internet...so we had to go a different route for that. Then the gas company put a lock on the huge rusting hulk of a propane tank that sits in our backyard. Seems they, after 10 years of service, has decided that we are not using enough gas to make it worth while. You would think that when times are tough, the companies would bend a little to make their customers happy....nope.

Anyway, I am looking forward to getting back to the torch now. I've cleaned the house and raked the gardens and am ready to get to work again.

We are going to be at the Broad Ripple Art Festival in Indianapolis this weekend, so if you are in the area, stop by and introduce yourself!
