Here we are – In Jim’s Garden. How about a few pictures of a couple of acres in Indiana? The garden changes so through the year. Observe: Today. A foot of snow on the ground. Coming out of the deep freeze, we are beginning to melt. Such a fine thing – melting. Almost as much fun as freezing. It was 15 below on Monday – … Continue reading January 9, 2014
