To avoid napping all day today I decided to do something not too complicated. Raspberry plants need to be transplanted so I round up my wheelbarrow and shovel and continued digging some plants up from this spot where I moved some from the other day.
I filled up the wheelbarrow with as many plants as I thought I could transport across the yard to the raspberry patch.
Raspberry patch
I planted the first load in this spot.
Helpers not much help
I had some helpers but they mostly wanted to dig up the plants I just planted and hunt for worms.
More plants
After a good break I loaded up the wheelbarrow again with plants. Looks like I still have another wheelbarrow load but not today. I will leave a few plants here to grow as I like to eat the berries when I’m walking around the garden.
Back to the raspberry patch with todays final load which I got planted, but just barely as I was wearing out.
More berry plants now
Not sure you can tell or not but there’s a lot more berry plants in here now then there was the other day.
Candy to me
It’s taken me several days to transplant the berry plants but when they produce raspberries they are corn free so a good thing for me. Eating them like they are or with a little sugar they are like candy to me.
I was finishing up with the berry planting just about the time the sun went down or at least behind the hills.
I was happy to get those plants transplanted and now have most of them done. I still have a few more plants to put around the yard here and there and the transplanting will be done and then I can just wait for the eating part.
Bennett Ewing, the Artist
So yesterday I said I met an artist down at Jenner while kayaking. He was hunting for pieces of drift wood and I stated he made bowls selling for around 15, to 30,000 bucks but I goofed on that. He did give me a card so I checked the web out for his web pages and was surprised to find this art he makes which is not bowls. :O)
It seems he glues the pieces of wood he finds into one of these. They are not carved but pieces are glued together to form his images.
Here’s an example I lifted off one of his web pages.
And another one.
Man you just never know who or what you might find on the river.
That was my day. I got a bit of exercise in instead of sleeping all day. I did find researching, that one of the effects of being corned was feeling real tired. Corn allergy causes quite a few different problems and people’s reactions seem to range over quite a few symptoms.
Nice to hear you are getting up and around more. Hopefully you will feel better each day.
I’m sure it felt good to be out there again.

Header Pictures
There are over a hundred pictures that are served up randomly every time you visit or change pages. They are of earlier pictures of interest and also some just to remind me of things.
A Sony AX33 4K, a video camera that takes stills too. What am I doing with that? I take pictures from my Kayak a lot. I found I was missing interesting shots, because my pic was being processed in my camera, before it would let me take another pic. Since I like to take what I call action stills, I bought this camera to take videos, that I could make stills out of, but, as a bonus, this camera also came with buttons to just take stills and that's what I mostly do, unless something is real interesting or too far away for my still zooms. My digilat zoom setting for video goes to two hundred x, and sometimes I need that, but usually, I only use the 10x lens zoom. Because this camera is HD and 4K, the quality has to be real good and it has a lot of stabilizers on it which really helps out a lot for taking pics on the water.
The other thing it has that is a must is a view finder and I had to buy Sony's top of the line cam to get it. This is a must for taking pics on the water, as you must hold the camera as still as posible and putting that eye piece to the eye forms a tripod with your arms that helps a lot. The eye piece is also a must as it works way better than a LED screen to see what you are taking a picture of in the daylight as the LED screens wash out easily in sunlight.
I also have another video camera, a Canon VIXIA G30. I use them both to mostly take stills. The Sony takes higher resolution stills than the G30. That was a bit of a disappointment as I bought the G30 to replace an older camera I dunked in the river, but then had to buy the Sony to get higher still picture resolution that the G30 was lacking.
Nice to hear you are getting up and around more. Hopefully you will feel better each day.
I’m sure it felt good to be out there again.
