It is good to be different!


The wildflowers are blooming...look at this Black-Eyed-Susan. Is it triplets that didn't separate? Genetic mutation? We will be sure to save the seeds. Anyway, it is good to be different!

I'll drink to that!

Our fingers are stained purple from hours of picking ripened dewberries...what a wonderful contrast to the yellow catus flowers painted sporadically through out the landscape.




The asparagus ferns in front of the house sway back and forth in the wind, saying good bye to spring and hello summer!








Here is to the changing seasons which will bring the dewberry wine....

Plum Crazy


The native Chickasaw plums thickets are in full ripe! We use them to make wine, jelly and sauces.
The local Indians would dry the plum fruit and add to meat jerky. They are also great to eat right off the tree!! Wild life gets PLUM CRAZY after eating fermented fruit that has fallen to the ground. Yeeee-Hawww!
