The Garden is doing well.  I've been harvesting tomatoes, green beans, and zucchini, as well as herbs like lemon balm, chives, thyme, dill, and celery leaf.

It has been suggested that this is a zucchini with stripes.

I do love zinnias.  They are so old-fashioned.

Orchard House

Annually, a group of men from Benicia and Vallejo come to Graeagle to a Retreat/Golf weekend and they always come to our Saturday night meeting.  This year, Betty made posters and set up a pot luck.  She and I went over early that day and decorated.  That night, the room was packed, we saw a lot of old friends, and we ate like royalty!  The gang of locals who showed up was fun, too.

Me next to the posters Betty made, including one of pictures from many events.
