Ann Arbor Art Fair 2018

Friday I has off and decided to go to the Ann Arbor Art Fair after several years hiatus. I found a an artist whose works I really loved and, although I couldn't afford his large pieces, I did buy a small coffee table sized piece from Eugene Perry. (His art can be Googled at eugeneperry.com )
This might take you there too: -

Monarda - Bergamot

Beach Combing for Sandusky Stones

Phragmites

Chillaxing

While working on the pond today we found these eggs tucked under the pond under liner. I have garter snakes lurking and occasionally eating goldfish, tadpoles, and frogs but they are ovoviviparous give birth to live young after keeping the eggs inside the mother where they hatch. So I'm guessing corn snakes which are beautiful, also eat my goldfish, tadpoles, and frogs but are oviparous. I'll leave them to see what happens.

Lexington, Michigan Garden Tour 2018 - Part 4

The gardens this year were amazing. The plants looked great even though we've had no rain for what seems like weeks! Almost all the gardens have the kind of rich soil I lust for. The ground here is heavy clay with virtually no topsoil.
