Spring Contentment

The winter was a strange one. Details of which I will not dwell on.

Spring is now here, and I have more time. Year one is more or less counted. Hello, year two.

 Things are sprouting, and the hodge-podge is looking healthier now that we are dealing with drainage issues (ya moved deeper into the swamp, helloOoo) It just needed a little TLC and homemade survey calculations made by Dr. Bug. Also his, ditch digging, and pipe-laying, and sump-pump engineering. I'll get to all of that later.

I received a new camera, and I am playing with it ... so many functions and settings, who could take a bad picture nowadays? Somebody's bound to like it.

Anyway, so here's what's new:

Raspberry Bushes
Blueberry Bushes
Apple Trees
Lilac Bushes
Daisies
Broccoli
Peas
Lima Beans
Second Generation Sunflowers
Garlic
Walking Onions

Those are in addition to the always-grown:

Tomatoes
Peppers (all sorts sweet and hot)
Spinach
Lettuce
Asparagus
Hops
Scallions
Cucumbers
Cilantro
Basil/Thyme/Insert Herb name

Pictures over the next few weeks, as I am home permanently now. At my own behest, which is so sublime, I can not tell you.

Peace.
