Berry Canes

My dear friend Donna gave me berry canes for Christmas and here they are growing and thriving in my new raised beds!  She gave me white raspberries from her son, red raspberries from her mom's plants, and Louis' blackberries!  I am so excited to know that some day they will bloom and produce fruit! This is one of the things we miss most from our city house is our mature berry plants.

Fun in the Mud

Kids love mud! The dogs even got in on the fun. Mud pools up in our garden and one Saturday morning I looked out the kitchen window to this sight!!  Yes, we did throw most of their clothes away!
