Blackberries are ready! ... and picts!

July the 4th!  Lots of working on our flower beds today before showers this morning.  After the rain stopped ... picked some blackberries, they are just now coming in.  Sue Neal made a cobbler with some of them.  Went back in the evening and picked some more for Sue's friend Carol Ann.


Also checked some beehives today and everything seems to be progressing well.  I think we will have between 12-20 medium supers for harvest in late July or early August.  While out looking at hives took a couple of pictures of passionflower / Maypop (Passiflora incarnata).  They are everywhere I bush-hog.  One of the picts has one of our bees checking it out!  This vine later has a few hollow fruit about the size of a tennis ball that supposedly is edible and will make a pop when stepped on ...



Stopped by Granny's several times today.  She seems to be doing a little better.
