Apparently this area was in a drought last year, and the precipitation hasn’t done much better on this time around either. For the past three weeks at least we’ve had absolutely no rain…until today!
~Wetness. We’ve had steady rain…all…day…long, with [...]

It’s blackberry season in Tennessee, and much to our family’s delight, we’ve discovered that our property (and the adjoining ones for sale) is scattered with many thickets of wild blackberry bushes!
Before now, I had never gone blackberry picking in my life. In New York the fruit season consisted of strawberries in June (only the first [...]
