Picked okra, then walked across the street to say hello to my neighbor and a driver who had pulled over to the curb to speak with him. In the end, I gave her the okra. Her garden didn't produce much this summer, and she clearly knew exactly what to do with a small pail of the veggies. A little less for my freezer, but it won't be missed, I have a lot in there already.

As we spoke I looked across the road at this house and realized it is time to raise the level of the tree branches in the yard. The trees are looking good, but one goal in landscaping is to keep the house visible to avoid prowlers or burglars. Right now there isn't a clear view through from all areas out front. I'll trim some branches later.

Many people have looked at the eBay auction and quite a few watchers. No bids yet.
