“Zip a dee doo dah, zip a dee ay. My, oh my what a wonderful day!”

We’ve had a lot of wonderful days with plenty of sunshine and, until recently, plenty of rain. So, it’s been a pleasure gardening this year! The Kruse garden is looking good, and it better be, because there’s a big event coming up.

Attention Please! Historical Society’s Ice-cream Social and Silent Auction, 12-3 PM, Saturday, September 7, (nice of them to have it on B’s birthday) in the Kruse Garden. It’s a great opportunity to tour the house (special display this year is ‘cats & dogs… & bunnies too’) and… have a big brick of ice-cream with a huge selection of home baked cakes, pies, and other tantalizing treats! The auction items always include unique, useful and ‘one of a kind’ items. It’s fun! Stop by, eat, tour (house & garden), bid, and visit with friends… what a great way to spend some time on a fall Saturday afternoon. See you there!

This lovely weeping Norway spruce Tree has been planted in the Kruse Garden in memory of Keith Letsche’s aunt, Dorthy Letsche. She was an avid gardener all her life. Her gardens were neat and precise and Keith’s mother would say “a weed wouldn’t dare think of growing in Dorothy’s garden”. Thank you Keith, for the donation! We are so pleased to remember your aunt with this tree.

Since we want the garden to look extra nice for IC Social we would greatly appreciate some help with the usual garden maintenance chores… We are there every Monday morning at 9AM. Come join us. No reservations necessary!

As always… gardening with pleasure,
A, T & B
