It was a early end to the garden this year. Didn't do what I hoped for.. but there is next year to try again! That is the wonderful thing about gardening. :O). The only baby chick we had hatch out here was killed and it nearly did me in as well. I was so very sad.

Those banties are amazing little creatures.<br />I laughed about your half hour on the computer turning into the three! Surprising how easy that can happen, isn't it;-)?<br />Your squash looks a bit mutated. I had a delphinium with a stem like that, sort of like a whole bunch of stems had got melded together.
