In the week I was gone the two tomato plants grew quickly. There were quite a few little green tomatoes while a week ago there was almost none. My wife had splurged and bought quite a few plants while I was on vacation–many still in their original containers and needed to be planted. She bought two beautiful budding fuchsia plants one of which I hung from the white pine tree in view from our large living room window. Every year we put one up there and the plant does well there as long as we keep it watered.
The weather finally became seasonal–sixties and seventies. I thought we went straight from winter into summer for a short time. At least it seemed that way. Today I was thrilled I noticed a flower that had little white snow bells. My wife said it was a perennial. The grass was also cut when I got home. All these things happened in the week I was gone.

Spring went straight into summer. I was gone a week. I know summer still has five weeks to go but that is the way it seemed. The big lilac bush bloomed while I was gone. There was new growth all over the place. All this in a week. I noticed the two patio tomato plants grew quite a bit. I still have not carefully inspected the garden. I am sure there are other changes. It has become the time of year I just wear tee shirts and shorts. Pretty soon I will be putting back the air conditioner in the bedroom. We discarded the thick blanket and the fan ran all night.

It will be fun walking around my yard. I will have been gone a whole week. It will be interesting to see the changes outside and also in my plants in my office. Sometimes you think your plants and flowers are not growing much but I have been gone a week so I want to see what new flowers have bloomed and have buds. I will leisurely walk around and study each inch of the ground. Inside and outside. I know my wife planted three large tomato plants. When I left, some already had tomatoes on them. I am anxious to see how our strawberry patch is doing. By now the wild black raspberries have flowers as well as the wild black berries. I will not be able to take in all the changes at once. I will have to walk around my property several times to notice all the changes. To me, this is all exciting. It is rare I go away.
