Here Come the Irises

 

Yeah, It's REAL Spring

 I have 4 apple trees, 2 plum trees, 2 cherry trees, and 2 filbert/hazelnut trees.

  

8 blue berry bushes churning out blossoms.

Success with Seeds!

Spring? ... Finally!

 

It's taken a very long time for what might reasonably be called 'spring.' Truthfully, the overnight temps still won't be in the 40s till next week! However, lettuce and spinach seedlings were not happy being indoors this long, and since I do have a hood over one raised bed I decided to plant them. They look tired but will likely perk up after a bit. Spinach in the front half and lettuce in the back.

This is a legit snow storm

Again?

The fickle weather in fall (late hot weather) confused local wildlife. Many late babies, among raccoons, deer, birds, and squirrels (and who knows what else). Anyhow, now it's snowing in Fall. Many animals are caught off guard it seems. Here's a young squirrel bulking up, and later that night and this morning, MORE snow fall.

So we DO have a bear (and otters)
