Berry Busy Happenings

9/10/2016

Somehow my phone was taking photos as I picked these elderberries.

The 7th seabuckthorn berry to appear! Earlier than anticipated, so a welcome surprise.

Three glorious stages of the elder mother metamorphosis, from white frothy delicate buds, to green small, hard berries, to full, ripe heavy black purple jewels.

Hard work happening near the Top Bar Hive.

The prettiest contrast, blossom to fruit, is the goji berry as it loses it's lavender blossoms to drupes of jewel red fruit.

I am T- the other half -of the dream-wrangler team, in the Orchard adventure.
Mother to 3 amazing adult sons, and grandmother to the biggest rays of sunshine in our lives. Our oldest grand-daughter, we used to call "Little A", but now she is medium to tall-sized. She is "Miss A" now. The last couple of years she has greeted a brother, "Little R" , and this past fall, "Little Miss I" and another mister, who will be known as "Little K", arriving any day now!

Then there's H.- I'll let him elaborate at some point, but in my opinion, he's the best seaweed wrangler west of the Atlantic. He remains our artist. in residence, and contines to astound T with his penchant for unusual garden-type installations. He lives to dance a jig with his grand kids, and teach them all about gardens, growing and such.
