And also for moss—small flowerless plants that usually grow in dense green clumps or mats, in damp or shady locations. The individual plants are usually composed of simple, one-cell thick leaves, covering a thin stem that supports them but does not conduct water and nutrients.

And, below, the very well tended and highly productive raspberry patch maintained by the old-timer in Mindemoya who gave us our irises. The proprietor is old and odd (who isn't) but he knows how to garden, and he gets gallons of fruit from this little patch.

Our primary project today (long after breakfast and well before naps) was restructuring the former (washed-away) boardwalk. After much experimentation we developed a way to remove the cedar planks from their underlying cedar logs. It involved a sledge hammer and considerable heavy lifting, but it worked. {The planks are, for the most part, perfectly good and should be reused.) BUT, try pulling a rusted spiral nail out of a saturated cedar log.
