The Bs
Today it is all about the “B”s! Birds, bugs and The Betrothed. I believe summer is here with all its mosquitoes! Keep looking!
Blackberries
Ok, this is like a cross-post with The Dr Blue’s Cast Iron Forest to Skillet. You know how TV series connect similar plots and characters together. LOL Except wait, I do not attempt to grow anything. Nature is in total control of our blackberries. The blackberries just showed up one year in our field. The…
