I'm planning the next trip with my brother 
Not the same distance, this time about 65 km. And of course I'll post some photos! Temps will be quite high, we're not used to those this early.
It's too dry, no blue berries this time, we really need some rain. Too late for the berries though

How fun, Anael, to spend so much time with your brother the way you do and doing something you both enjoy. I prefer the heat so your weather is probably right up my alley. We've had a rain and cloud cover the last week. I need to work on my tan so this not helping. Lol! Though my roses love the wet...

Maybe those and the raspberries will keep me alive

We had a few drops of rain last night but not enough! The soil still is very dry.

Oh...this is darling.... Great picture...
yes, I prune my roses though, I was late this year with the 2 bushes pictured. I have yellow rose bushes everywhere but these are my best performers. These bushes will be twice the size in a month. Love yellow...lol!
I've never attempted growing berries but, in my new home, DH is building me a greenhouse. I have lots of ideas for that thing. Never had a greenhouse so this will be fun...
Spent the day at a Veteran community awards luncheon. My best friend was recognized for his service in Army and to the community. So proud of him and all he does for his comrades. Lovely time and very emotional... Busy week with the holiday coming. Lots of Vet stuff I participate in, chili cook-off, parade, National cemetery volunteer stuff. Thousands of flags to place, which is my favorite to do. I love our National cemetery...so pretty...

So jealous of the roses, Teen...I've been in my garden...not one rose survived the winter. I had 10 drift roses on a slope with big limerock in front...all gone. Two bushes close to the house...gone. One on east side of my garden shed...gone. Now what to put in place of those drift roses? Maybe a bunch of nasturtiums for this year..
