We’ve been picking red raspberries, black raspberries and blackberries just about every day. We found this:
in a black raspberry bush. There are three babies in this picture, and the two eggs have hatched since this picture was taken. Co cute!
The Glads are blooming!
Now, for the view from my front porch rocking chair:
The White Butterfly Bush is in full bloom! So beautiful. So relaxing to sit on the front porch rocking, watching the butterflies on the bush.
The smaller Purple Butterfly Bush is in full bloom, also.
Little green bean seedlings!
And our new addition:
A water spigot! It’s out near the barn and the vegetable garden. No more running 4 hoses from the house to the garden! They were still working on filling in the hold when I took this picture.
The mystery plants in my lettuce and spinach raised bed are blooming. I’m pretty sure they are watermelons. Whatever they are, they came from the compost pile. They both of lots of blossoms.
The Jewelweed is blooming! I’ve had poison ivy for a couple of weeks now, just small spots, but still. So now I have to look up (again) how to preserve it to use the next time one of us has poison ivy. We have this all over the property. This one is in the back yard by the creek. It’s really shady there, that’s why the picture is so dark. I could have used the flash……..but because I was out in the SUN taking pictures, it never occurred to me to turn the flash on. lol

What a treasure you found while out picking berries! Sweet little mouths waiting for mom to bring a meal! Love your butterfly bushes!
Happy OW,

Aw, this was a very good post. Taking the time and actual effort to produce a
good article… but what can I say… I hesitate
a whole lot and don’t manage to get anything done.
It is even more ideal that the attorney has represented clients against the same insurance company before.
Only a specialized lawyer is well-versed with the clauses
of the law and can determine how much compensation you are entitled to
get. Being involved in any type of automobile accident from minor to extreme is never an enjoyable
experience.
