Sunny Spring Day

It was sunny today. It was in the high 40's today. That is warm, comparatively. It was a little windy, but overall, it was a nice day. See those little piece of green? Those are the beginnings of mom's iris. They are deep purple bearded iris. All that other stuff is mom's day lilies and raspberry and boysenberry bushes.


She and Plusone love eating fresh berries off the bush. (Yes, mom rinses them off first.) Some times there are so many berries that mom brings them into work. Her co-workers love that. As for me, I love raspberries, and I try to eat them right off the bush. I don't eat the boysenberries, because they have too many thorns on their vines.


This year mom's co-worker is going to give her some red and yellow day lilies for one of the deep purple bearded iris. Mom is excited about that. Heck, mom is excited that there is green stuff in the back yard. Actually, so am I. Lucky couldn't care less. She's happy no matter what is going on. Sigh. Silly girl.

My Momma loves daylilies. She is looking forward to when they have the front done enough that she can plant some there!

Our mom says berries are yummy. We don't think so. It is great that your mom grows things in our yard. Both of our humans have "black thumbs" so we only have grass in our Garten.

If only we lived near each other, we could trade plants too!

Mombean wants to know where the best place to plant a raspberry bush would be.

Raspberries are super good. It's nice to see green. We've all been waiting so long for spring to show up.

Love,

Oooo ... fresh berries sound good. Mom had some fresh off the vines blackberries in Seattle last September. They surround the parking area at her aunt's condo complex. Mom was waiting for efurryone to show up at the cars, so she was walking around eating all of the berries that she could find. Hee, hee: Breakfast ala parking lot. 'Beans are weird.
