Summer

I LOVE SUMMER!
It took me about a week to not wake up paniced that I was going to be late for school. My life is on such a major schedule that I still wake up about 5:00 but I know I don't have to get up unless I want to.
I love being outside in the early morning. It is quiet and peaceful. However it has been really windy and that is the one thing I do not enjoy. Today though, I was laying in bed and I heard the planes flying over the crops and I new that it would be a calm morning. I jumped out of bed, threw on some clothes, put my hair in a pony tail, (yes it is too long) and got out side about 6:00 am and it was glorious! Birds singing, the sky is blue and no wind!! I planted my blueberry and blackberrie bushes that Sarah bought me for mothers day and also planted some strawberries and cantalope and watermelon. I am a bit late on some of these so I hope they survive. I love digging in the dirt and doing little projects. I am not big on weeding however...I try to do things so that I don't have to weed. (pots, mulch, plastic and grass killer) Hopefully I will get everything in shape before it gets really hot!
Now I am off to town because I forgot the stakes to keep the plastic down around my plants. It is not windy now , but you know it will be back!

I find it somewhat humorous that you actually PLANTED a blackberry bush. Around here, they're such a nuisance and people pay big bucks to have people come exterminate them. I, personally, LOVE blackberries. Probably my favorite berry.

Hope we get to come see you soon!

I'm glad you are enjoying summer. Summer is my favorite time of year. I love berry smoothies and blackberry cobbler. We'll be over if you need help eating them.

Can't wait to see if all of those fruits you planted do well and take off. Cantelope and watermelon are so yummy!
