Strawberries!

Our first strawberries of the season, (well, minus the few we've already eaten). It's funny how pretty food is when you grow it yourself. We transplanted these strawberry plants last year, and just got a few, but this year, watch out! They are a comin'! It's so fun to me. I've never been a fan of strawberries. Probably because when I did finally try one it was stolen from DQ's salad bar. It was not good and I thought why do people like these. For years I had this mentality. But last year I learned if you eat a Fresh Strawberry from your own strawberry patch, their delightful! Ty laughed and said, so you don't like nasty strawberries, you like perfect ones? Yes! I have been missing out for years. Serves me right for stealing a strawberry from DQ!
Rather than a flower bed at my front step, I have a Strawberry Patch,
which is trying to expand out and I have to keep it contained!




Well, when you have older siblings, you are bound to get dropped sooner or later, and probably more than once or twice or three times.... Hopefully it occurs on a soft surface, but that won't always be the case, as with Teague's incidence. I will take some of the blame since I was the one that asked Derek to move Teague. I just didn't realize he would trip/drop him on the cement! OUCH!! I didn't see it happen, but the result is the only thing I've been able to see since.



This is a week later, the scab has fallen off, and is looking much better! Hopefully there is not a big scar. I must say, I'm glad we have noses that stick out, otherwise, he would have been scraped up all over his face worse than he was. Now when I look at him, I can see more than a big red scab, and he is still really cute!

Fun in the Mud

Teague learned about mud the other day. I was trying to fix a sprinkler in my garden that wasn't working very good. It was just spraying a little bit of water which Teague thought was pretty fun to put his hands in. I had to run in the house for something and when I came back out I saw him sitting really still just staring out into nothing. Probably thinking, "What just happened?" I could see mud on his face and just laughed the closer I got. He was happy as could be. His first experience with mud. The first of many I'm sure. It may seem weird, but it's times like these I feel like a good mom. (Ignoring the fact that I left him outside by himself!) Seeing these pictures makes me feel like a good mom because he is outside being a kid and having fun in the mud.




I loved the whispies and had to take another pic.
