 Week 20 - Oregon City - May 13-19, 2024

A week of almost no rain.  I spent the week, mostly, in the woods...walking back and forth looking for blackberries, bed straw, thistles, and ivy.  With my trusty, small bladed, shovel, I dug all of the offensive plants up and flipped them over so their roots would dry in the sun.  

There are some pretty flowers blooming...  Here's a nice field of Buttercups.














A patch of  Common Speedwell - Veronica americana














A blooming rhododendron - one of three plants Warren sourced for $5.00 each
























Here's a Grand Fir seedling that Dad found in the flower bed near the bananas.  I planted it in Sector 1.
























A healthy long hunk of Bed Straw and a husky blackberry root nodule - I posted both photos because Zelensky is so cute.














































We had a festive pumpkin seedling  planting party.  The grandkids were pretty excited with the idea of MANY pumpkins in the fall.
























Needing a pumpkin break, Logan climbed a fruit tree.
























Jack climbed the same tree and took a rest.















Speaking of Jack...he is a vigorous tree climber.  In the woods, down by the hammock, he climbed up a multi branched small cedar and then slithered down it, around the trunk and branches to the bottom.  I wish I had a video of it

And - not to forget Mishka - Warren and his kids had her funeral and buried her in the flower bed in the back of the house.
