Hey Toni....... I am an 'oddball' here too (IF my flowers and ornamental survive, good for them
....... I'm all about the FOOD crops
) I'm in SW Oregon like your Son and his family, but don't have a 10th of that kind of room
( WOW, the garden I could grow, lol) My Son is in yer corner for the state, still goin' to school, ( he's 23, paying as he goes) so I wait 'patiently' for marriage and GCs ...... My Daughter is in her first yr of college, so I am finding my way as an 'empty nester' ...... Needless to say, I think the garden is 'expanding' this yr ( and I might even work on the 'pretties'
)
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your son, as the Mother of a son, my heart goes out to you...........
Is that a heeler/border collie cross? ( that would be one heck of a herdin' dog
) Beautiful shepard......................
