Celebrating The Hero's Birthday
Before my sweetheart died, he gave me the best gift I could ever have asked for. It has taken three years to really accomplish it, but I am really working in the raised garden he insisted on having built for me before he died. He had the joy of planting it the spring before he died. Last year, I planted some, but really wasn't home enough to work it correctly. I reaped that benefit, I am fighting fire ants like crazy. Once again, I digress. This spring I have planned my plants, and where to plant them. I decided to plant strawberries in one corner and blueberries in the far end. I ordered 25 strawberries from Stark Bros. and they arrived yesterday. Today, I planted the strawberries in the garden. I was happy as I finished. I feel I am saying thank you to him for his effort to make something that would help me for years to come. I am grateful that he loved me enough to have done this. I just wish he were here to play with me ...
