A Nature Trip Around The Yard

I went to check on the raspberries to find they must have already peaked and now are shriveled. They didn't used to peak until late June. It must have been the early spring we had.

I found some areas to be way overgrown. 

This has to be the ugliest weed. I once had  a bad dream that they grew so big I could not get away.

What is growing in your yard?
