Surrounded by flowers


We have a flower garden on our campsite leftover from last years hosts.  The poppies have been beautiful and new flowers bloom all the time.  I don't know the names of most of whats come up.  They even had garlic planted.  It shoots up very tall and I guess you dig the bulb up to enjoy it.  I don't want to disturb it so it can come up next year.  There are wildflowers in bloom all over the place with all the rain we've gotten.  Spending time in the west in the summer by this time of year everything is brown so its nice to enjoy green even in late July. 

The mosquitoes have been ferocious along with every kind of fly.  Bug spray is our top seller in the little store we have.  I want to go pick raspberries -- there is a field of them and they taste great but unless there is a nice breeze you get eaten alive trying to pick them.  I learned about another edible berry here.  It is a type of service berry.  Here they call them June berries.  They are good but have a large seed.  We haven't seen any blueberries or blackberries.  You would think we would see bear activity around with all the berries but we haven't had any bear sightings.
