The Slowing of the Farm

Delicious!

Cattails in the marshy area along with great saw-grass 

The last of the lisianthus for this year.  They were oh-so-beautiful!

Red raspberries.  Oh yum!

Weeding the red raspberries.  Took all day to do three rows but now the picking is much much easier.

Wild flowers and grasses for bouquets.  Lovely all by themselves.
Today's Journey Joys: hard working and cool air conditioning in 95+ degree heat and humidity, chrysanthemums growing, the boys to the Museum of Science and Industry for an adventure, blueberry and raspberry syrup, "Puffy" the calico and long furred kitten, tomatoes ripening, pole beans climbing, pumpkins forming, getting ready for back-to-school.
