While I like cut flowers, I think they're a waste of money. Plus, they often make me sneeze. My husband works with a bunch of women, who drive him crazy asking, "What are you getting Monica for Valentine's Day?" They don't seem to grasp that A) I'm not a normal female. B) Bobby and I tend to think alike. and C) Valentine's, while cool, is not our favorite holiday. We tried the going out to eat thing a few years, but we don't do well with crowds (have you ever tried getting a wheelchair parking spot or table when a restaurant is crowded?) so this year we went out last weekend to celebrate. And I somewhat jokingly told him (since he says he buys me flowers to make the girls at work shut up) if he had to buy me flowers, I wanted them in the form of blueberry bushes, and that Sam's Club had them in a box.
He came home with TWO boxes. As in 8 plants total. EIGHT plants. There are only two people in this family. I can never complain the man doesn't love me.
I spent most of yesterday planting blueberry bushes, raking pine straw to put around half of the said blueberry bushes, yelling at the chickens for messing up all the pine straw I put out, and watering the seedlings (and a chicken or two) we planted on the property line. My goal is to finish with the pine straw before it rains today.
Maybe next year I'll ask for a cocoa bean tree.
