December has just begun and we were greeted unusually warm weather for then first few days but that quickly changed to cold rain with an impending ice storm on the way. I want to see how the bees are doing. I haven't seen any in several weeks and I hope that just indicates they are tucked away and clustered for the winter. The Do Not Disturb sign is posted and I must respect that. But that is...

In the past two weeks we began to see some mushrooms...

Pruning raspberries in the fall is a chore I have to do in the fall and sooner I remember and get the task done the happier I am. I don't mind the brambles and the scratches they leave when they are producing fruit. It's another story when I have to deal with cutting down the past season's fruited branches. It's really not too bad considering I have 6 raspberry and blackberry patches around the...
