Random photos from the last month or so.
Took these May 31… there are a lot more, but I don’t seem to have time to resize and upload…
Above photo… the good luck flag I tie dyed last year. I finally got a pole long enough to display it this year.
No, I don’t leave it out all the time… the sun will fade it and make the fabric deteriorate if it’s out all the time.
Briar with damage
I sprayed a huge briar with roundup. The herbicide dripped off and killed everything underneath… but I’ve still got a huge and alive briar. Oh, sure it did some damage, but not nearly enough. This photo is the evidence. That’s at a rate of 10 oz of roundup to a gallon of water. Ron has threatened to just douse the thing with gasoline. (and then set it on fire)
I seem to be getting mixed up with captions and titles. Oh well.
Lots of photos in that folder… on to more!
The rose bush in full bloom. It’s a lot bigger than it was… and needs pruning of dead stuff, but it sure looks lovely when in bloom!
This is a wild sensitive plant, mimosa family. They get really cute little pink puffball blooms and I didn’t even know we had any here. I found a bigger one out in the hay field that I’m going to try to move to a flower bed…. This was a great photo from my camera, hope it comes out as good after the resize.
Just to give you an idea of how large the blackberry hedge has grown… It’s going to be really hard to pick some of those berries with the canes so tall.
Well, I didn’t even make it out of the May 31 folder, but I need to go fix dinner… so this is all for tonight.
hugs,

That rose bush is gigantic! Beautiful, but gigantic!
Bigger than it looks in that photo… need a person next to it for size ref!
I have lots of that same briar in my yard. I’ve ripped it out by the roots, but it has underground runners. The ONLy thing that sort works is to pull as far as you can, cut near the ground and spray the cut stump with weedkiller. It seemed to work in one spot in my yard. But I still have lots more to kill.
We have that briar and half a dozen more kinds. Roundup doesn’t work on em… my mom suggested I spray them first with dishwasher detergent, let it dry, and then try the roundup. I sprayed last year the ones coming up in paths and I have dead spots with briars. Argh!
That flag is awesome.
Wednes, thank you! I like how the bottom half came out…. dyeing something that long is sort of a problem. I didn’t feel so bad once I saw the professional flags done like mine… where the top is not quite right.
Which reminds me… email me a size, I’m pretty sure I can fix you up with a top or something that I’ve dyed. I may not mail it right away, going through one of my can’t rem to mail stuff things… but I’ll try to rem.
