bouncySue's memorial cherry tree is blooming!
After the HOT, ARID summer we had last year, when Ken and I poured gallons of water twice a day on her tree and brought it back from the brink of dying, I didn't think it would have strength to make blooms this year. After all, it had to grow an entire new set of leaves last year. But I rode by the park today and it had bloomed!
You can't see a lot of the blossoms yet, but there are many more waiting to open
It's a double cherry; I'm so happy that it bloomed!
The baby shower yesterday was fun; at least for the first 3 hours. Those things always last about an hour too long. I had a good friend to chat with; the food was very nice (cannoli cake) and the baby gifts were cute.
I didn't win a prize playing "Baby Bingo" or playing "Baby Shower Guessing Game", but I did win these tulips for being one of 3 women with the most children. (We each had 4). I planted the flowers in my garden today.
Not bad for spending 4 hours in a room with 48 women all talking at once, eh?
In a few weeks, we are switching to a t.v. system that will bundle the phone, t.v. and computer into one package, so we will have BROADBAND! No more reading a book while I wait for sites to load. I'm excited; hope it isn't too technologically challenging for this sometimes challenged person. ^_~ I will let you know!

It will keep us from gnashing our teeth and kicking the 'puter every time we try to log on.
I like to think Sue sees it somehow. I know that her garden looks as good as it has these last 2 years because Sue is literally in her flowers. She wanted to be scattered in her garden and she was.
