Today we are driving about an hour away to go to a well known area where there are a lot of apple farms and little cafes and restaurants to get fresh apple pie. There is also a huge farm shed where all kinds of seasonings and spices are sold, plus my favorite of all, a small farm that has fresh apple donuts upon request. They cook them while you wait. At that same farm for those who wish to pick their own rasperries that experience awaits.
What a glorious day it is today, the weather couldn't be more perfect!
This part of the yard is an area I've ignored for ages. I've been working cleaning out old brush, trimming back natural plants that I've purposely let grow in this area, plants that you find indigenous to our area. I found the little raccoon under some bushes that I was trimming, put seed again in this red pot and the birds are flocking to this area now for their seed.
I've mentioned before that we have an acre, which is really great except when it comes time to catch up on all the different areas where I either have outside sitting areas or grass but also the areas that nature tries to reclaim in its' wildness. I pretty much let it go wild but sometimes it has to be trimmed back. I've been working outside for about a week and have totally got back into the outside labor stuff. If only someone would pay me.
