Bloomin' Crazy!

I was in the garden today...
The strawberries are BLOOMIN' again!
What is going on?!?
I've never had strawberries bloom TWICE in a season!
Unfortunately I don't think there will be enough time for these blooms to turn into berries...bummer... 
It's been a very strange summer indeed!

Bluems !

Just what am I talking about?
These!!!!
'Blueberry Blossoms'...or 'Blueberry Blooms'... or...
"Bluems"
Spied this fully loaded blueberry bush at the nursery on Saturday.
We were all piled in the car and so I didn't think about getting it...
Of course it ended up being ALL I thought about for the next couple of days!
So today once I had some helping hands back home from school...
's' & I jumped in the van and popped back over to the nursery...
After a few minutes of inspection I settled on this fine specimen!
It was raining fairly well when we got home and so 
I just plunked it into the backyard...
The plan was to plant it after supper...
But it was POURING BUCKETS by then...
I`ll get it into the ground tomorrow!
I`ll try to be ever-so-gentle in the hopes that it will produce
a bunch of delicious berries THIS summer!
There certainly are plenty of `bluems` ready to be transformed! 
My mouth is already watering just thinking about it!

Bloomin' Berries!

I was standing in the kitchen the other day and I looked out into the garden...
The usual weeds were SCREAMING at me...
But I also spotted some loverly white strawberry blossoms!!!
Oh they are a site for weed-sore eyes!!!
I was out weeding a few beds last night but didn't get to these...yet...
I know you're not suppose to take pics in bright sunlight...
But I forgot to snap some last night after I finished weeding...
Since the babez were napping I popped out to capture a few while I had the chance!!!
I think it's "Bloomin' Wonderful!!!"
