A Day Worth Remembering

It was 66 degrees here today. After picking Gabe up from preschool, our day was devoted to the backyard. For two hours, we basked in the sun. I never thought the 60's could feel so warm to me.

I planted the two blueberry bushes I got for my birthday (Thanks Mom and Dad! Thanks boys!), some butterfly bushes (thanks neigbhor!), and divided and replanted my Black-eyed Susans.

I was a happy woman, and Oliver was the happiest he has been for weeks. That boy needs to be outside as much as I do.

I like to save the little tags that come on my plants to remind me of exactly what variety they are, but I always end up losing them. Today when I was taking a picture of my new blueberries (which I like to do so I can look back in later years and see the progress), an idea popped into my head - take a picture of the tagse! Of course! Pictures, I don't lose, especially if I post them on my blog. Here you go...Jersey Blueberry and Rabbiteye Blueberry....never to be forgotten.

I'm in love.
