    Just popped in to say hello. It has been such a long time. The sight looks great and I am enjoying all the pictures in the members gallery! I am hoping to pop in more often. I just get so dang busy.
    There is not much new in my garden. It pretty much self maintains with some weed pulling in the spring.
    I did start some Blackcurrant Schnapps with part of my harvest. That could be interesting.
    The horses are fine and Pete the border collie is doing well in competitions.

    Hiya Muddy, glad to hear you are still around. A lot goes on that takes us away from the fun things for a time doesn't it?

    Good to hear that Pete is doing well in the competitions too.

    I was just thinking the other day of the people who hadn't been around in awhile. You were on that list and I wondered if you were just busy. It's easy to keep so busy you don't have time for pleasures. We'll look forward to another visit. I'm glad things are going well. dooley

    Hi Muddy!
    It has been a while for me to be here too but just a couple of days ago I got to thinking about the Stew and how much I have missed it too :)

    HI

    Welcome back, Muddy. I'm fairly new to the "stew" and already feel like family. I'd love to see your garden.

    Well hello again!! :-D It's lovely to see you back with us. Do tell us what Pete has been up to in the competitions as we no longer get sheep dog trials on the TV sadly.

    Thanks for the warm welcome. I have a little time because there are no sheepdog trials in July. But things start right up again in August. There are a couple of three day trials where the top dogs go back on day three for championship. The sheep are set so far away that the judges must use binoculars to score the dog picking us his sheep!

    Hello Muddy

    Glad to meet you. Tell me: Do you live in a house or in a garden?? :D

    That Wisteria looks pretty and like Netty says it is eating your house and to me it does create the impression that your house is made of Wisteria. Very Unique.

    This time of year I do live in a garden! I only go in for the night. That wisteria is eating the garage. My house is being eaten from two different sides by a magnolia vine and a honeysuckle vine.
