<\/a>The day started with the trek towards 200 miles!<\/p><\/div>\n
The pace was quick…Paul speeding down the street with the sound of air swooshing behind him and then, for no apparent reason, the sign appeared.\u00a0 Being a good Buy Scout, Paul was prepared!<\/p>\n
<\/a>Paul is always prepared to stop!<\/p><\/div>\n
The walk, in the Spring, always yields amazing flowers and this on, in particular, was a standout.<\/p>\n
<\/a>An amazing bright red bloom… It almost flashed!<\/p><\/div>\n
Returning home it was to the back yard and the task was to put the finishing touches on the Blueberry cage!\u00a0 It is done!\u00a0 It is 18′ by 6′ by 6′!\u00a0 Every piece is 6′ exactly so next year we will have no puzzled looks when the kit comes out!<\/p>\n
