day in the life of Bud and Debi

I'm practicing and managed to load some pictures now I need to add labels and explainations. In our front yard Bud has a small orchard of apples, aprcots, orange and a grapfruit. He also has 5 geese that are grouped three live in the orchard and two are next door. Our neighbors have a big back yard that was over run by weeds untill our geese were alowed to visit or as Bud would say 'work' over there and now two live there full time and the others occasionally - the weeds are gone. The neighbors all like to watch as Bud gets his shepherds cane and walks them over and back each day. Its really a fun thing to watch.
In the back yard I have been working on the square foot garden that I have been moving to make way for my rasberry expansion. In the sq. ft. garden we have squash, tomato, cucumbers and pumkin. Near the house we have a fig tree and two pomigranit trees that are a couple of years old and have producted a hand full of fruit last year and promised to give a few more this. But my biggest accomplishment is getting a handle on our own uncontrolable weed patch.
Since most of my family is far away I thought it would be fun to share with you some of the things that we the Spencers have on our 3/4 of an acre here in Norco the 'Horse capital' a bit of country here in southern Calif that is quickly becoming more concrete and roadway every day.

I forgot to ask if the tomatos you brought over were from your garden? They were so yummy!
