It's 99 degrees outside and I am pooped! The only chores on my list for today were moving and spraying the suckering growth around the base of my olive tree a joke on a neighbor's wrong id of the African Sumac tree in my front yard.
On Saturday, August 11th a New Sensory Garden and a bench in honor of Mary Bourguignon were dedicated at the Fairfield Civic Center Library on Kentucky Street. Mary Bourguignon was a lifetime community activist and Fairfield library supporter.
A few evenings back, driving into town, I saw a young woman park her minivan next to a field of sunflowers. She and a little girl got out of their car and walked up to the flowers.
There is little doubt that trees are wonderful both out in nature and in home gardens. My wife and I have lived in our current home for over 20 years and when we moved into our very modest-sized front and backyard were quite undeveloped.
