Over the summer, Kim, Nik and Ivi have been working at restoring and refurbishing the patio.  

Here Kim and Nik take a break at the end of the day, while Charlie (out of view) chases his tail and who knows what else.  And Ivi (more to be reported) continues to pursue her massive fruit canning project.

Sunflowers & Sweet Corn

Suddenly, the sunflowers planted amidst the sweet corn have zoomed to 8 and 9 feet in height, and are almost entirely masking the corn patch.  While Charlie looks on from a shaded vantage point, I attempt to reach as high as I can.

By the way, the first sweet corn harvest was cooked up and consumed last night, with high praise to Kim and Ivi for their efforts.
