Riverbank was founded as a ferry crossing and was established as a town with the coming of the Santa Fe Railroad. This is downtown Riverbank where some of the history is depicted in this mural and statue of a cable ferry operator. We had regular meeting downtown throughout the summer with Sue across from this display.
Some of the streets are named for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, back in 1946 an original song, sung by Judy Garland won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
We picked cherries first.
We tried to not get too carried away like we did last year in Washington.....but we picked plenty!
And then we headed to the blueberry patch.
We picked 9 pounds of berries.
When we got home this large snake was in the yard!
He was going down the gopher holes!
Only one set of flower seeds came up, the cucumbers were up, so we bought flower plants.
Everyone says it gets hot here in the summer, but the weather has been beautiful so far. Just to be safe though, we ordered these outdoor solar shades for the two back windows, which are on the west side here.
We were ready for the heat! Bring it on!
