Damselflies at the Creek

Harvest from the Garden

May 28, 2025 On Monday (May 26), after it stopped raining for a bit, Bruce and I dressed up in our coveralls. We headed out to clear the section on the south fence under the trees. We had a lot of branches down from the storm last week. We loaded the branches into the mower […]
