My wife and I wanted blueberries for so many reasons, health, self preservation, annual renewal, family activities, fun and most importantly life.

We have 6 plants for our current six children: Jared Alexis Jacob Michael Cayla and Mikayla. Two different varieties, Emerald and Jewel as you need at least two different types to have berries. There are so many parallels in life.

Everything came together today to get them planted. There is no better day to plant them.

You can say it’s not the right season, they are not big enough, or your Ph is off, but to us it doesnt matter as now is the time.

As they read the names on TV I am galvanized in the remembrance that the beauty and wonder of life is fleeting but must continued.
