What a wonderful Independence Day celebration we had at the home of Joe and Sandy Beall in Ghent on Saturday, July 2.
They do this every year and we feel so privileged to be on their guest list. It has become such a tradition that even our grandson, Justin, doesn’t want to miss out on all of the festivities and food. Joe and Sandy plan months ahead for this big event – actually, I can honestly say a year in advance. We have already received our “pre-invite” for July 7, 2012.
Oh my goodness, do I have tarragon this year. It has exploded into what I would call a bush of tarragon.
That is okay though because it makes me really feel like a good gardener, even though I’m not. I am just lucky.
Would you believe that I have plants finally coming up that I planted a couple of years ago and thought they were dead? I guess with all of this rain, they finally decided to raise their lovely heads. It is so amazing. I truly feel blessed.
