A and I bought 25 new blueberry bushes this year. We planted all of them in four rows. I set about scraping off the turf all around them and then using leaf mulch to make nice pretty rows. It took several days of work to get it all done...but...it is all done ( Read more... )

The school year is over and kids are out. K is doing her normal ping-pong routine. Wyatt is enjoying the final bit of his pre-school age time (last kid in to Kindergarten!).

Not too much else to note today.

So...today I out pruning in the vineyard (I am still not sick of saying that). I was, technically, about a week late in doing it...hopefully it will be ok. I am new at this, so I have to learn.

Did a family yardsale trip this weekend. Everyone had a good time. Got a couple cool things.

Not too much else to say...
