Day 41 in my Photo Blog Journey

Today my picture is of a strawberry.This is my FIRST home grown strawberry!!!! I have grown a vegetable garden for years and thought I would try my hand with fruit. We have watched this berry grow for weeks. Then tonight when I go to water the plant I saw this red shiny berry! I did cut this into 5 pieces for my husband, three kids and myself to try it. It was very sweet and soft. This was my first strawberry right off the vine!

Day 38 in my photo blog journey

Today's picture is of an Oak leaf Hydrangea that has just started to bloom. I love this plant. They are so pretty to look at when in bloom. I will take another picture in a few days when it is in full bloom. They have such a creamy colored flower and the leaves are the perfect shape of a oak leaf. Have to say this is one of my favorite bushes!

Day 35 in my Photo Blog Journey

Todays picture is of my daughter , Abbie. We went for a walk after supper through the woods and I was laughing at her cause she had wore this silly hat. She won it earlier today when she and Sam had went to the skating rink for  a birthday party. She thinks her hat is it! She made me laugh, so I told her she was my blog picture of the day! Love my Abigail!

Kentucky Blue grass...funny name for this flower..Its not really a grass and its not blue , kinda purple if you ask me...I stopped one day on the side of the road three years ago and saw this flower growing wild.
