Meanwhile, at the veggie garden...

This is the second year of harvest at our vegetable garden and if last year was a nice surprise, that one has been a total success and a harbinger for even better future output.

Yesterday, I picked these yummy strawberries from their high-altitude patch (6,745 ft) and they were downright delicious. This afternoon, a young magpie was caught red-handed trying for a serving of his own, but I suspect that he will try again...

I hate the thought of it, but I might have to get a BB gun!
