July 9, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

I’ve got a busy, busy day ahead of me (Meals On Wheels, hair appointment, errands and a meeting of our city’s Multicultural Committee) so I’ll just share a few pictures this morning: My tomato plants are loaded and that makes me happy: I took this Sunday morning while walking Shiloh before church: And this one….
