We've been working on upgrading our irrigation yet again. (Yes, getting the berries water is top priority!)

Any day now, I expect to find a plump purple berry on one of those bushes. They are taking their sweet time this year since it's been such a cold winter and spring in our neck of the woods, even while much of the country has been warm. Yep, we're in the little blue dip down into Eastern Oregon.
