Strawberry Pickin'

We had a great weekend. Sunday morning we got up early and went strawberry picking. I attached the pictures of Kaiya below -- the little ragamuffin won't keep any hair clips or rubberbands in lately, so she has messy hair most of the time. :) She had a great time running through the strawberries and as you can see from the pictures, I couldn't get her to hold still and smile for a picture. She was constantly on the go. There was a big Lassie-dog running around so she had fun keeping tabs on him, picking green strawberries and climbing all over. She was a dirty little girl by the time we were ready to go home. We got the very tail end of strawberry season, so only picked a couple of pints. But it was still fun.




After strawberry picking we tried to go to church but didn't get ready in time. Instead Tony ran a couple errands with me. We went to get a couple packs of flowers for me to plant in the front of our yard, by the end of the driveway and the nursery we went to had everything buy one get one free. So... I ended up getting some herbs and tomatoes too. When I was picking out the flowers I saw an entire cart filled with scraggly looking petunias. I asked if they were still for sale -- even at a discount or something and she said that she was just going to let them go and I could take them if I wanted to. So... I took 2 flats of petunias. I think I was able to revive them -- and have plenty extra that I am going to find homes for. I think my neighbor ladies will enjoy them. So... hopefully my herbs, tomatoes and flowers will do well over the next few weeks. I have a little over 2 months to enjoy them -- and I think the next family to live in the house will like them too.
