I loved seeing the picture of the hay fields next to the ocean, just lovely! I do hope you get some rain soon, we have had a very dry summer here as well. My potatoes bloomed about a month ago and are producing potatoes now, in fact we are eating some for supper, as well as corn from my garden. I'm happy with my harvest this year :) Marilyn @ MountainTopSpicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00600290895531484438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293097948980376506.post-6541583601782362842017-08-15T16:47:42.487-07:002017-08-15T16:47:42.487-07:00Lol, PDP. 🙂Lol, PDP. 🙂Marie Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03882722634065183364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293097948980376506.post-15852456205991795142017-08-15T16:26:00.224-07:002017-08-15T16:26:00.224-07:00There is still lots of spraying here, Ginnie.
