Cleaning up little chores around the yard, several interesting Observations to make. With the greatest of anticipation, I noticed this past weekend that the boysenberries mentioned and 
photographed last week are now in full bloom, and the busy backyard bees have thrown over the broccoli blooms for berries. Here are two pictures from Sunday, May Eve. The bottom of the barrel fell out when we last moved the
berries here, and I have hopes for many years worth of suckers to populate the area just over our back fence -- for a yummy summer snack for us and to provide a surprise for anyone who happens to decide to vault our fence. (Wicked grin.)If you look very closely at the berry blossom closeup picture at left you will be able to see two of the many bees at work for us. These bees are very mellow, and let me pick broccoli and take pictures up close without taking any notice at all.
UPDATE Tuesday, May 2
The yard, apparently sensing the May Day activities, has kicked into full speed ahead: Yesterday's full bloom berries have become, instead, today's first green berries. Look very closely at the "dead" flowers and you can see what the bees have wrought in just two days time . . .
