What a beautiful day.  I took my 18 mo out with me to pick tomatoes and okra in the garden this morning.  I have discovered she likes to go out there with me.  I leave her beside the cherry tomatoe bush with a bucket, she says uh-o over and over when she sees a red one, and picks it, and sometimes even puts it in the bucket.  Weather like this makes me want to work outside in the strawberry patch, weeding.  Last fall I planted a bunch of plants I ordered from a company in NW Arkansas.  They have really good, large plants and reasonable prices (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, grapes, blackberries, etc.).  I put some hay over them after planting, and apparently the hay was very seedy, because I have done nothing but weed this year, it has been terrible.  Lesson learned.  But if the weather stays cooler for the weekend, maybe I can get it all caught back up again.
