The current wave of hot, sticky weather makes some of us take our days a little slower and easier during the summer months. How- ever, that is apparently not the case with this month’s winner of the Astor Area Garden Club’s “Yard of the Month” award. At the age of 78, Betty Morgan of 55706 Lee Street, still does all of her own gardening and yard work, and, yes, that includes mowing and trimming her shrub- bery. Her backyard, on the canal side, is equally well manicured and lovely; but she does report that, due to repeated visits from a local black bear resident, her once lush grape arbor had to be removed.
