Welcomed Sights

This is a vine. We didn't plant it, but like it and will let it continue to grow.

We didn't plant this either, but was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful flower.

This is our raspberry bush-there are 2 berries so far. We have a blackberry bush that had lots of berrries but the berries didn't ripe right-when dad tried them, they were hard and bitter.

Our Sugar Baby watermelon-this one is about the size of an apple.

Backyard

This is a snake we found in one of the rose bushes. Johnnie, the male cat caught him, but cats like to play with their prey before killing them and while playing with it, the snake got away. This snake was the longest one we've seen in our yard so far. It was a little over 24 inches.

Our fig tree finally has some figs. I've never eaten figs before. I guess I'll find out soon if I like them or not.
