Our First Strawberry

Mary just loves going outside now that the weather has warmed up. Her first words after,"Good Morning!" are, "Go outside and play?" She then looks around once we are outside and says all the colors of the flowers she sees. She has been eyeing this strawberry for awhile but I kept telling her she had to wait until it turned red. It was ripe on Friday, so we picked it and ate it. It was so yummy! We are working on getting her a sandbox. Saturday, Rich took us out to a Farm Supply store and we found a sheep watering tank that is perfect for a sand box. We brought it home and she just loves playing in it. We don't have the sand yet and I need to make a cover for it but she doesn't care! She just gets in and out of it and sits in it with her blanket and just talks away. The sand and the cover are on the agenda for this week and I will post pictures after we finish it.







Happy Monday to all and I hope you have a wonderful week!

What cute pictures, Elena! Mary looks so sweet- and finally getting to eat the strawberry!:)

Reminds me of when we were growing up, my grandparents had a huge strawberry patch. We would pick (and eat)- pick (and eat:) as we went.

Sweet, sweet memories- just like you are making with little Mary:)

Hugs,
Linda

How did she like the first strawberry of the season? I'm hoping we have some ripe enough to pick soon (if we can beat the bunnies and squirrels to them!).

She has the bluest eyes. Did she like the strawberry?
When Brandon was around 3 or 4 he picked all of my green tomatoes and lined them up on the patio so they would ripen. He had seen his Mother put them in the window to get sun in order to ripen. Another time he was knocking apricots off my tree because he needed some balls to hit with his golf club. They are so funny when they are small.
Thanks for sharing.

Love,
Enda

What a precious little darling you have there Elena. Amelie shares Mary's love of strawberries! I am looking forward to seeing pictures of her in her sandbox - we don't get such great weather here for outdoors play at the moment, but hopefully some sunshine is around the corner and we can enjoy the garden a little more. It is wonderful that Mary gets to see all these things growing in her own patch, and that you spend so much time with her sharing the joy of being outdoors in the garden. A double blessing. Much love and prayers to you all, Fiona x
