Mmmmmmmmm, now you have me craving blackberry pie!! One of my favorite desserts. And Thimbleberries....I'm not sure I've heard of this type.
ReplyDeleteAll the greenery around....just beautiful.
I enjoyed seeing all your blooms. Such a pretty setting you have by the lake.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness you've got lots of plants and blooms going on! The vetch is particularly pretty...seems I've seen it around here before but in a different color. That pontoon boat reminds me of my uncle's camp that he sold last year. That was our taxi to get to the camp and I miss that!
ReplyDeleteThere are Hosta's around my house but I never knew what they were called. I'm not much of a gardener as someone else takes care of the yard. I wanna live by a lake!
