Brantford Parks and Moving to El Valle, Panama

Here is a picture from our garden this year.

Hi everyone sorry I have not posted for a few days now but this will be my last post for for about 3 weeks as we are moving to Panama to retire. It is going to take a while to get internet service figured out so the next time I blog it will be from El Valle, Panama. Two days to go and counting.
