Glad you guys got a chuckle. I have to laugh at myself most of the time. I often think of the quintessential English gardeners who look so cultured and capable in their gardening attire. How do they do it? I am always sweaty and dirty and wear the most unflattering but comfortable clothes, hair is pushed back from my face with a headband and a scrunchie to keep it off of my neck. Dare I even mention that the bra line seems to accumulate the most sweat and is often flung off and draped over a bush when I can't stand it any longer Rolling on the floor laughing Then it is a quick grab and dash to put it back on when I hear someone coming up the drive. I can only imagine what I look like too - bum up in the air or sitting to weed when I get tired of bending over, sleeping on the ground,....

Ginny, how wonderful to have your gardens on the tour. I enjoy gardening for my own pleasure, but there is something so rewarding when it is shared with other gardening enthusiasts Thumbs up

Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Living in the country makes the gardening attire a whole lot more interesting in the hot weather Whistling Whistling Whistling People keep asking why I put so much into the gardening and flowers since no one can see it - I say I can see it and why shouldn't I enjoy my labor as much as anyone else!!! I do it for me and my family, but do enjoy when others appreciate it too.

Thank you Jo Ann. Hope to add a bunch more pics next summer. Not much happening now with everything taking on the Fall look, and lots of dead looking leaves. I'm thinking I need to add more Fall color Whistling Whistling

I'm with Terri except I would not have the bra on to fling onto the bush later. I would have my arms across my chest when someone would stop for directions. As the neighborhood extended past my house I had to give that up and start wearing one. BUT! I still go out with a healthy stubble on my legs and my way of thinking with my weak eyes, if I can't see it they can't either! Thumbs up

Minds take sharp right turns when the gardening season is winding down and we can't be outside doing our gardening pursuits LOL. I had to read back to see how I went off on such a tangent - yep, it started with garden seating. Ginny, we have all winter to help you figure out some great garden seating to incorporate.
