I&#8217;ve planted a ton of new fruit trees and berry bushes in the garden.  At the last minute I decided to try some blueberries [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s finally happened.  The weather has warmed to the point it&#8217;s no longer miserable to be outside.  In fact, it&#8217;s down right pleasant and judging by the chorus of crickets and peepers, the wildlife would agree.

		<description><![CDATA[It took us about 2 weeks of digging, but the foundation is finally dug.  We still have a bit of leveling and finishing to get done today, but all of the really hard stuff is done.  It wouldn’t even have taken us 2 weeks if we hadn’t had to stop for a couple days every time there was a hard rain.
