Rolling Acres - This and That

[RollingAcres]

I'm getting to it...

 

[RollingAcres]

This weekend was really hot and humid. DS and I went to a picnic and luckily there's a pool where we went so we spent almost our entire time at the picnic in the pool .

It's raspberry and blueberry picking season and I'm a little behind in getting them picked. I'll try to get more picking done this week since it's not as hot. DS and I picked some yesterday. I'm glad DS is starting to like blueberries. He didn't used to like them but now he would eat them as he's picking the blueberries. He still doesn't like raspberries that much, too much seeds for him.
I made a lemon cake (from boxed cake mix) yesterday.


I took this picture a couple of weekends ago. DS was across the street playing with his friends. Skyler and I just hung out outside enjoying the weather. I was reading Sulfur Springs by William Kent Krueger. I really enjoy reading this Author's mystery series.


This was last Monday. It was a beautiful morning for fishing.

I'm the same way with the dislike for raspberry seeds. Problem is that I didn't know that till we had a dozen 2 year old plants. I dug them up and gave them to a neighbor.

Those raspberry plants, they just grow like crazy! When we moved in, there was already a big patch(really, a big patch, they are not in rows). It was so hard to pick the raspberries because we couldn't reach the middle of the patch. We dug up the runners and planted them in rows so now it's easier. That big patch is still back there behind the chicken coop but we don't pick from there anymore. We have more than enough just from the 3 rows we planted.

I know the chickens don't eat raspberries either. I don't think I've seen birds eating them either.

Miss @RollingAcres,

Thank you SO MUCH for the post! I am glad you got to have some time with your son at the pool and picking berries. Refresh my Senile Texas Aggie memory regarding this picture:

Is that lake on your property or nearby? Either way, it is a beautiful scene!

That's a lake nearby. It's the closest lake with a fishing dock. There are other lakes nearby but no fishing docks or spot, all private properties. I wish i have a pond/lake on my property.

My chickens haven't had an opportunity but I'd be surprised if they turned them down. SOME kind of bird eats them, I've been seeing red and seeds on the cherry tomato plant. I built a "tower" for it to grow up inside, must be the birds sit on one of the rungs and eat their berries.

I know my chickens don't. I've thrown some in for them but they just sniffed and walked away.

Has anyone heard from @Rammy and @Wehner Homestead? It's been a while since I last saw any posting from them.
Also I haven't seen any posting lately from @greybeard either. I know he's normally here at least once a day.

Nope, Rammy and Wehner are MIA!! I sure hope they are OK.
