Sweet Summer Time and the Treeless Lot

Sorry it has been a while since we have posted a blog. Here are some random pictures from this evening.
Have I mentioned that we LOVE these mountains?
Welcome Summer!!!
With the treeless lot behind us now, we can see ALL of the mountains behind us. This is from the kitchen window. We are hoping that the neighbors will want to take the privacy fence down...now that we know they are not going to put a small trailer park back there! This area is also my favorite planting spot...from L to R- Iris *in tree stump, Lilac bush (look how big it is mom!), and some raspberries at the corner of the chain link fence! I am SO excited about the raspberries!
destruction :(

UGH!
Killer bees under the deck! I say bees, Tom says yellow jackets....what ever they are, they are mean and they sting! Tom got rid of them this afternoon with a well planned out attack involving 2 cans of bug killer! These mean little guys stung Harley, so obviously they had to die!
Here is the garden we planted yesterday! It's a bit smaller than last year, but will hopefully yield more this time around! Cantaloupe, tomatoes (3) jalapeno (5!) yellow squash (2) green squash, and cilantro! I bet you would never guess that salsa is my favorite food ;)
