Selfies are horrible; we all know this. We took one anyway. I just looked it up and it was almost two years since I last visited Chuck and Sylvia who started out as blogging friends but have turned into real, solid, life-long friends.
Sylvia is like the Energizer Bunny. She is contantly working on things. I won't tell you her age, but she's older than I am, and she keeps a full-size vegetable garden and several flower beds. The evening light made the coneflowers look especially nice.
A patch of sunlight made the marigolds glow.
The zucchini is just temporarily resting before it delivers a few more green bombs. Just kidding... I really like zucchini.
The cherry tomato bush is covered! But you might have to look closely to see them in this small picture. She had already picked the ones that needed harvesting today.
So, Sylvia says this is just a tray of fresh food waiting to be put away. I say it's a work of art. And I can verify that those cherry tomatoes taste better than candy!
Chuck's big news is that he's had an operation that has stopped his essential tremors which were getting very bad. This is huge! We shared a nice dinner- well, they shared, I just ate it! And then we had some time to visit after we ate and did the garden tour.
In the morning, I head for Grand Ledge and the Island Art Fair vendor event.

That is great news for Chuck.
Yes, that tray of food is a work of art. I so miss having a garden full of fresh vegies.
Sylvia is a master gardener, and the news about Chuck makes me happy. Thank you, Sharkey, for this report.
Ann and David- I will message you two
