I got there early to pick him up today, so #3 and I browsed through the booths looking for tomato plants while we waited for him to be done. I noticed a gentleman there who had berry canes, so I headed his direction hoping for something different, but expecting the usual raspberries, boysenberries and various strains of other common blackberries. My jaw just about hit the ground when I saw that he had one Tayberry left for sale. I jumped towards it so quickly I think #3 thought I was having a heart attack.
After chatting with the gentleman for a bit I left his booth with #3 toting the Tayberry vine I bought for myself as an early Mothers Day present. I am not exaggerating when I say that I am now as happy as a pig in mud and am sitting such that I can gaze adoringly at my new purchase as it sits on my patio while I figure out where in the yard I’m going to put it.
I’m easily pleased, and this has definitely pleased me.
I did do some work out in the back yard cleaning up the bed along the fence some. I started to smell rain so I had #3 help me pack up quickly so we could get things put away before the skies opened up on us. While we put things away we noticed that a couple Rufous Hummingbirds have finally found our feeders. We enjoyed watching them zip between our yard and the neighbor’s yards while we cleaned up. It wasn’t until we had everything put away that I noticed that our neighbor has their sprinkler on, which was what I had smelled, not impending rain.
Oh well, it was time for a break anyway! I’ll continue enjoying watching the Hummingbirds while I listen to Runrig sing Loch Lomond.
