Summer At River View Manse

Spring rushed in and by and now it's summer so I thought it fitting to show you River View in the summer !

Some of the 60 Leyland Cyprus that we planted are visable in the foreground and the 'aviary', where we are feeding the birds can be seen in the center of the picture. Birds this week besides the Mourning Doves, Goldfinches, Cardinals, Bluejays, finches and swallows have included an Indigo Bunting and a Little Blue Heron.

The newly planted garden is giving us all our salads and 'zukes' as well as cucumbers, beets, parsley and an abundance of so-far green tomatoes that we talk to daily ( "get red! get red!").

You can see from the grass that it has been dry, dry dry here. We're currently making plans for irrigation from the river - stay tuned and peace to you where ever you are this summer.
