Life in raspberry world

Originally uploaded by Raspberry World.

Summer is rolling along. Today we have storms and rain, but it’s been very hot and dry recently. I’m taking advantage of the (slightly) cooler temperature today to make a crock pot soup and do some other cooking.

In our garden right now, we have ripe raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries. I am so happy that the previous owners planted all these berries — what a treat for us this year! Check out what I made today.

There’s still so much that I need to figure out what to do with in the yard. Our lot is partially wooded, so that part is easy - we just leave it alone. But around the house, there are some areas where I’m not really sure what it’s supposed to be… ground cover? Grass? Mostly it is weeds. Now they are very tall weeds.

Marty built a compost bin this weekend and we have gotten started with that. It feels great not to have to throw veggie scraps away in the trash anymore. Baby steps!
