I grew up on the outskirts of Portland, OR and there were wild ones everywhere! I loved it. I just noticed today that one of my blackberry plants has a flower on it! So I may actually get one or two blackberries! I'm so excited as I've missed eating those yummy things. there is one spot north of Madras on the Deschutes River that has lots of bushes, but it's snake country there and my hubby doesn't want me to go pick them or even be around them.. so I'll try having some in my own yard.

I need them right now with all this work ahead! fortunately, though my back will kill me the day I do the work, after a good night's sleep on my very firm bed, taking some Advil and using ice, it's pretty good the next day. I'm SO thankful! We're now starting a hot weather streak.... 80 yesterday, 85 today and tomorrow and then 92 on Friday and probably Saturday. Then it'll cool down again. Our yard is starting to look pretty good and it's only May 27th! Lots to come as far as some annuals to add some color. YES! I wish we lived closer and I would give you all my remaining Irises! Wish Wish........ have a good week!

We now have a different bench outside (more modern looking - was my husband's reloading bench (for hunting) that my brother in law made him)... but we're going to stain it and hope it will weather better. It really is handy to have it right outside by our work area! some day if I ever get a SHE shed, I may get to have another cute garden hutch!Marilyn McLeod @ Pink Paper Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166022624714254716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181382386833074929.post-48531489857018953392020-05-27T17:19:12.961-07:002020-05-27T17:19:12.961-07:00Ellen D. - thank you for the comment.

I'm not sure where you're from but your area must be similar to where I live... lots of weeds are THRIVING right now as is not hot enough yet to kill them! I think we're finally getting a handle on it though.

Nothing prettier in this world. You are quite ambitious. I wish I could get some of that. In years past when we took a vacation in OR we always stopped along the country roads and picked blackberries and then had them on our cereal the next morning. So good..Stay well and enjoy the holiday..xxoJudyJudy at GoldCountryCottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282585980012016892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181382386833074929.post-47023042281492531232020-05-23T10:01:24.206-07:002020-05-23T10:01:24.206-07:00Your irises are amazing!

Your yard is going to look amazing after you get the gravel hauled in, and you won't have to fight with so many weeds! The back pain is just miserable, so much work to do in the spring. We've been having an unseasonable amount of rain here as well. I'm hoping we get that sunshine in the forecast next week! I can't wait to see what you've been busy creating in your craft room, totally amazing stuff I'm sure! Many blessings to you, and Happy Memorial Day to you :) Marilyn @ MountainTopSpicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00600290895531484438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181382386833074929.post-19955919439475347452020-05-22T16:25:07.265-07:002020-05-22T16:25:07.265-07:00Wow girl you have a lot going on.

It will all look so nice when you have finished - love how you have spread out the iris. I have been weeding a bit each day when the weather permits but my weeds are still winning! I will keep at it tho! <br />Good luck to your husband who has to move all of that heavy gravel. Be careful!<br />Thanks for posting!Ellen D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03776803182673252265noreply@blogger.com
