I can officially say that I am old. my proof of this being that I am currently sitting here with two therma care strips taped to my back and hip. now if that isn't an indicator that I am an advanced age I don't know what is. :)
several weeks ago my sister asked me if I wanted any of the strawberries she was thinning out of her garden. Absolutely I want them! I brought them home and transplanted them in my largest planter so the rabbits around here would not help themselves and we would not get any berries.
I certainly didn't expect them to do very well for at least another month due to the 'trauma' of being dug up and moved. this morning I looked out the window and could not believe my eyes! I already have blossoms on my strawberries! most of the plants I have now have buds and a couple of open flowers. I am so excited about it.

(also to be pictured at a later time... because she is in school now)
Emma has been so terrible about taking care of her hair. I used to have very very long hair and so I have a bit of an emotional attachment to my daughters long hair. I will be growing it back for sure now that my littlest isn't so little that he will be pulling my hair so much anymore....
back to Emma. when ever it was suggested that she should brush her hair she would instantly mope around and not brush it or would brush the ends and pout over having to take care of her hair. When it came time to wash her hair she would do the same pouting but as soon as I came in to make sure it was getting done properly she would cry or complain that it hurt. what ever! so I was down right fed up with trying to keep her hair in any way nice. so I chopped it all off! instead of having hair down her back she now has hair that is even length with her lovely smile.
she loves her very short hair. and that makes me kind of sad.

I bet it's adorable! Did you donate it?
it really is cute. you wouldn't believe just how darling she looks with it short.
I haven't donated it yet. I do have it zip locked though so I might be doing that soon.
It is SO HARD to cut off their long hair. I remember with Brynn's first real cut we took off up to nine inches in order to even everything out. I cried. HARD. It was almost two weeks before I could look at her and not want to start crying again!
I'm excited for you for the strawberries! I hope you have a great crop for the first time around and the animals leave them alone. By the way, I still haven't forgotten about the lily of the valley for you. I couldn't figure out where they were (they're all mingled with other plants), then they started coming up but before I could get to them to dig them up at least half of them had already started to flower! From what I read, you aren't supposed to disturb them while they still have the flowers on them. SO, once they stop flowering I'll hopefully get them to you! I have them popping up all over in the LAWN outside of the flower patch beside our garage!
