They are supposed to be my Mother's Day Gift (from Rodney) I just love them !!! First is a Purpleleaf Sandcherry Bush and the second is a Black Lace Elderberry Bush ________ Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!! .....

(sorry my camera is busted so I couldn't take pics... an old grandma like me wouldn't really know how to get the pictures on my computer anyway.) I got strawberry plants! And bug repellent! I posted a problem how the ants kept eating my strawberry seeds? Not anymore! Now I can plant my seeds with complete confidence they won't be eaten! ♥ I love my grandchildren.

I started a Black and White garden and that plant really sets it off. Do what you can where you are with what you have. http://www.flickr.com/photos/audwoman/

What handsome additions to your yard. Merme We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart? The other heart was given to another for us to find.
