Well we have been doing battle with raspberry bushes and to look at me you would know it. We are trying to spruce up the property so we look better than the others on the market.  We burned off the veggie garden and found it and tilled that ground and spruced it up.  Almost finished.  We started cleaning out the vineyard. Have to take down some alders that grew to fast in there and are shading it.  The chickens got the ground brush cleaned out for me.  We took down an old structure in the garden yard and mowed that down and now we have to clean up some trees we planted in a nursery setting and they got away from us.  I got carried away with the camera the last few days so plan on posting some.  i played with taking pictures of myself in the garden reflected in the globe.  And my margarete poppy (thats not the right name but its as close as i could get to remembering the real name - they usually know what i am talking about at the nursery).  It is blooming like crazy finally.  Had three blooms last year but once it gets going it is almost invasive, but its hard to start.  It is the most beautiful poppy I have ever seen, so i got some pictures of that too.  My butterfly bushes are in almost full bloom, couple look pretty peaked tho.  We have not had the best growing weather out here either the last two years.  So once i take out the little thing from the camera and load them I will try and post some.
