Black Raspberries!

We've had a busy summer so far and this past few days I've been busy getting ready for a power stamping weekend. So I haven't taken any more pictures of the finished landscaping, deck & patio. I'll try to do that before I leave. It really looks so nice to have color and something besides dirt around the house. The deck is going to be so handy to walk right out from the screened porch to grill.

The last big thing to be done for the house is the grass/lawn. Bill is already planning to kill off all of the rye grass he planted last year for temporary green - and the weeds. Then he'll add some dirt where the old house site has settled and a couple other places before planting grass seed around Labor Day. Then we'll hope for rain at the right times!

When Mom was here, Peggy told us she had lots of black raspberries at her house and that we could pick as many as we wanted since she would be gone a few days. They were really nice ones. We were lucky to pick a bunch before the birds found them. Looking forward to them again next summer!
