June has got to be my favorite month. Winter is a distant memory and summer stretches out ahead of you like an inviting back road. We've been busy with life, and I haven't posted much, but the gardens don't really wait for you and they've grown and --- of course --- gotten a little bit ahead of us. Our small strawberry patch did well this year and now the black raspberries are coming in. From the looks of the blackberry bushes, we're going to be busy picking those soon, too! Even the blueberry bushes look good, two of the four have a fair number of berries for their first year in our yard! It wasn't a great year for iris blooms, but this variety did well. They smell like grape soda to me and are fragrant enough to fill the yard with the scent. We put the vegetable garden in Memorial Day Weekend as we always do and everything seems to be doing well. Now if we can just find some time to weed.
