Max Cat

Max is jealous of the new kitten. You can really see it in his face.

Echinacea

This is my Echinacea that I got for Mother's Day. They are one of my favorite flowers. I have been waiting for this flower to open for weeks.

Strawberry Picking at Lee Farms

Yesterday we went strawberry picking at Lee Farm in Junction City. He has a no spray field. His plants were better than all three other places I went. Plants are large with lots of perfect berries. He has three varieties. We picked Bentons. He starting a blueberry patch. He has Dukes so far and plans on getting Chandlers as well. Chandlers are the giant ones. Dukes are just yummy. I dehydrated a flat and half so far. That's only one tub. I don't think I will make it ti my goal of five. That's okay.

This tree is dwarf Bing Cherry. It is said to taste more like a Lapins Cherry. He is a beautiful tree.

Sunshine Blue Blueberries

These are an evergreen blueberry with small tart berries.

Free Cherries

We went down to the busy road around the corner and cleared a wild cherry tree. A lot of wild cherries are bitter and not very tasty. This is not the case with this tree. We are going to graft part of the tree later this year. As is we don't have enough cherry trees. We already have five. Three are in barrels. Along with two Sunshine Blue blueberry bushes.

I started spinning my maroon merino I bought from Fantasy Fibers. I love wool.

Our Love for Trees

We recently bought this tree from Greer Gardens. Shishi Yatsubusa is a rare maple because of the scion wood it is graphed to. We love our tree. Not more than the cherry trees. My husband has special feeling for cherry trees. We bought a beautiful Montmorency for our anniversary.

So far we picked this from the garden. The snow peas are doing great.
