and a dresser on the other side of the room. 
We ordered it from my brother, Lindberg Furniture, about six weeks ago. Since that time, I have been moving things around between four rooms of our house. Three bedroom upstairs are changed around, and this room, my former weaving studio, is now our downstairs bedroom. No more carrying laundry up and down steps! No more trips downstairs in the middle of the night for the bathroom (I have been doing that for about 35 years!)There is still more work to be done and stuff to go through and sort, but we are making progress. And now for the garden pictures--hopefully next Friday will be a sunny day and everything will look more pleasant!
The tomatoes are growing. Ross and i put in more potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, and squash yesterday in the garden near the house. That completed it.
The potatoes are up enough now to follow the row. These are red potatoes, and leftovers from our wonderful crop last year.
The beans are making an appearance, too, along with a little fine weed that plagues my garden. Frequent rototilling and grass clippings help in the paths between the rows, but the little stuff next to the plants needs hand work. 
The front porch picture looks a little dismal this week, too, but the flowers are coming along nicely.
Ah, the clematis. The one I posted about last week is pink and on the corner of the garage. This one is on the back corner of the house, and like the pink one, it faces east. My niece Linda made a comment about last week's clematis, and hoped hers would soon look like mine. We have two other clematises, planted in the corner of the garden in front of the porch. You can barely see them in my porch picture. They are several years old, but seem very pathetic compared to the pink and lavender ones. Maybe they are a different kind, but they are hardly worth bothering with. I coax them a little bit each year, but they sure never look like these two!

We planted 4 rows of sweet corn and three rows of Kennebec seed potatoes. The ground out there was part of a strip job, and is rather rocky. Ross has been helpful to me to till it up after Ken plowed and harrowed it. We got it all planted yesterday.
I have one flower bed by the garage to clean up and plant some things in, and that's it for planting for me!

If you like looking at gardens, son Roy posted some pictures on Facebook yesterday of his garden. This is his very first garden and I am very proud of him for doing it! I think it is about 10' by 12' and takes up a big chunk of their back yard. It sounds like they are really enjoying watching it grow!
