The Garden


While the house was still under construction Dad wanted to start his garden. Which was a good idea it would keep him busy and keep him from climbing up on ladders trying to get the best views from the attic window. As you can see from the next picture we still wonder how he got up there, but once there what a great picture moment! Many hours Mom and I would spend with him each year planning what and where to plant. So in the year 2003 we had our first punkin-pic-in party small in scale it was my grandchildren only after that we expanded to include all Mom and Dad's great-grandchildren.

Pumpkin Parties have been the funnest tradition, and best memories. Thank You mom for all of your continuing hard work with the garden, so we can enjoy the fruits and veggies of your labor!

He was the king of his castle up there, wasn't he?

Where'd he find that 'CRAZY' hat? He loved being outdoors working the garden and anticipating what his efforts would bring forth, didn't he?

Most of all he liked the attention from all the female joggers he would get!
