I'm WAY behind on my blogging!! And we've had some fun things going on, lately!
Last week Nick and I went on vacation. Since a nine hour drive wasn't realistic this year for our usual trip to FL, we headed just a couple hours south to Lake Barkley State Park. It was a wonderfully relaxing trip, despite the heavy rains that fell the weekend before we arrived. We had a nice room with a lake view and a pair of bluebirds nesting just off our little porch. I tried to get a good picture...but wasn't very successful in my efforts. While there, we spent most of our time at the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area. We got up close and personal with bison and elk, enjoyed going back in time to a farm set in 1850, hung out with wild animals native to Kentucky at the Nature Center, and took advantage of the indoor pool in the evenings. It was a nice relaxing trip... just what we needed so we came home refreshed with energy to work on berries and landscaping!
I picked my first few quarts of strawberries on Friday...by Sunday there were a few more... and with the start of the work week they are coming on like crazy! They taste so delicious and sweet!! Thanks to Nick, Nancy, and Melvin who are helping me pick all the berries! I hope they don't curse my name by the end of the season!
