Golden Raspberries,Lettuce and Peas, Oh My!

A view from my kitchen window...

Begs you to get out to pick these...

That is pretty much what our weekend was filled with.

Along with mowing the overgrown lawn, weeding the flower beds and garden.

Deadheading the flowers. The rain has everything looking soggy and sat upon.

We did have a small yard sale this weekend, while we weeded and all that.

It was pretty good for last minute, and we cleared out some much needed space.

I have big plans this summer, which is right around the corner, and I need to make some room.

We were able to harvest more lettuce, beet greens,swiss chard,some herbs, and the first of the

golden raspberries and peas. Snow peas and pod peas. Yum!

I have about a billion mosquito bites in places no bug should be, and Princess

and Farmer Dad? Not a one. He claims it is all that British "Blue Blood", I guess mine

is more Sicilian Marinara, cause the bugs sure LOVE me!
Can't you just feel summer coming closer when you see this cone flower getting ready to flower?
I am not sure how these roses still had petals it after the hard rains we had here.((hugs))KateinNJ

Life is a Bowl of Cherries!

Or at least a basket full.
The three of us picked golden raspberries and
cherries this morning. They were so tasty!!
Princess was a little bit freaked out when Farmer Dad
climbed up into the tree to get to some really red cherries.
Naturally, we were eating them as fast as we were picking them.
Look at our happy little visitor, he brought friends too. ;-)
Look at all the pretty currants!
