Walking the yard

While The Bear took his morning nap, Wifey and I walked the yard with our morning cups of coffee.  We saw a few things:

• I really need to do something to anti-deer the blueberry bushes and apple trees.  They've been obviously been snacked on within the last week.
• Despite my zealous use of the brush hog a few months back, we have a few bits of black raspberry that survived in the side yard. I'll have to transplant that somewhere useful.
• The ice from last week did some damage to a variety of virginal growth.  The peach tree and butterfly bushes in particular aren't happy.  Both sets are showing newer growth, though, so they should bounce back.
• Speaking of the peach tree, Wifey saw her first (my second) bee this year.  He was working hard doing his job.

Unfortunately, now she's talking about getting an apiary up and running.  Not until next year at the earliest.....
