It's Hardly Raining Today

Just a continuous sprinkle today.  Not too bad, but the bugs were sure bad.  Who came up with the "Bounce" dryer sheet idea to repel bugs?  I tried it and didn't think it really worked.   

The good news is that after church, Mr. Adams helped me get the new weed eater going and I was able to finish the road side job.

It looks nicer when you are driving by our place now.  The new weed eater is really powerful...I could do some damage with that thing.

I was happy to see a lot of bees in the raspberry patch today.  Brave little bumblebees!  I was beginning to be afraid that because it has been raining so much they wouldn't be able to get out to pollinate the raspberries for me.  We don't have honeybees in Sitka, so we are glad to have a good population of bumblebees. 

I don't know where these little guys live the rest of the year, but when the raspberries are in bloom there are HUNDREDS of bees in the patch, working away.  It's almost scary to walk in the area!

The garlic plants are putting out their scapes.  I sell scapes for 50 cents a piece.  They are SO delicious chopped up in stir fries! 

I wish I had a field of garlic!
