Saturday my wife Dedra and my daughter-in-law Christine took part in an annual ritual on our farm in Grays Chapel, North Carolina. They picked wild blackberries. These black jewels are plentiful this year and the girls were able to get enough for a fresh hot cobbler and several jars of jam. If you have never tasted a wild berry cobbler hot from the oven, you don’t know what heaven is.
A white guinea fowl on our farm in Grays Chapel, North Carolina. Wonderful bug eaters, their eggs are very good… if you can find them.

Coming soon…pickles.
We have had problems lately with our honey bees. For some unknown reason many of the local hives have died, which has had an effect on the pollination in our garden. While we are starting a new hive now, Mother Nature has risen up to try to help us out. We have a profusion of bumblebees this year. I captured several working our squash plants in the garden and the thistle in our meadow in Grays Chapel, North Carolina.

Sheep graze on a recent afternoon at a neighbor’s farm in Grays Chapel, North Carolina.
Take several acres of bottom land along the Yadkin River in Caldwell County, North Carolina. Add about 20-25 teams of the most gorgeous mules and work horses you have ever seen along with some serious farmers and it’s amazing how much ground you can turn in just a short time. Images are from a plow day gathering of the North Carolina Draft Horse & Mule Association this past weekend.
