Daddy still does the trimmer but the mower is all his. <br /><br />We love strawberry picking and go every year in June. In fact I need to find out how strawberries are doing and where we'll pick this year. I've blogged about our strawberry picking tradition and some great books to go along with it - especially our favorite - The Red Ripe Strawberry and the Big Hungry Bear.

He enjoys it a lot, though. He had gotten me an HP Touchpad when they announced they weren't going to make them any more and had some good deals on them. It has a Kindle app on it, so I can download free books from Amazon on it. Like you, I prefer "real" books, but it's nice taking this on a trip with several books loaded onto it without having to pack several books.<br /><br />The love and thought behind your gift were the best part, though. :-)<br /><br />I'm really wanting to get a fire pit for our back yard, and some decent patio furniture. We have an old table and two lawn chairs out there now.<br /><br />It's so nice to get together with friends!Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903409844961124425.post-36101888149339330752012-05-25T22:40:34.619-04:002012-05-25T22:40:34.619-04:00Connecting with friends you haven't seen in aw...Connecting with friends you haven't seen in awhile is really fun.<br /><br />I would love a fire pit.

Love your picture. We have a fire pit, but it's already way too hot here for it. I like it to be cool when we use it...and that's not often in S. Florida! <br /><br />I love my Kindle Fire, too, and I don't write on it. I do read some on mine, but I use it alot like you do, it seems. (Hey -- do you know about the Amazon Kindle free app of the day? You need to!) Have a great week.Laura@OutnumberedMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10764574855540659528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903409844961124425.post-83719971040571500572012-05-25T19:26:56.996-04:002012-05-25T19:26:56.996-04:00Annette, We can have the portable camping fire pit...Annette, We can have the portable camping fire pit which are raised off the ground. And chimineas are popular. Along the beach the campgrounds have firepits but inland campfires are not allowed for the obvious reason. This year we had late rain which gave us abundant growth so our fire danger will be even higher this fall. Just one of the hazards of living here. But at least we don't get tornados.Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912030095491960175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903409844961124425.post-2452409814421277722012-05-25T14:14:09.948-04:002012-05-25T14:14:09.948-04:00That sounds like a lovely week.

I've borrowed my son's Kindle for reading and found it easy to handle--the best part being that I can knit AND read because I don't have to hold the page open.<br />When I first read 'first fire', I thought, "Oh, no! How can that be a fave?" Out here in SoCal 'first fire of the season' is NOT a good thing. Then I read on and realized you meant a little campfire. :)<br />I'm glad you had a great week.Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912030095491960175noreply@blogger.com
