[img_assist|nid=387|title=|desc=|link=node|align=left|width=150|height=113]The strawberry season is technically over but our plants are producing more then they ever have. I have already mentioned this before, but this morning I was a little surprised at the amount I actually brought in. It was just as well that I had the forsight to take a container with me as there was more then I would have been able to carry in my hands. The runners are still growing proficiently and those which I have placed in pots seem to have taken and it shouldn't be too long before they are able to be seperated from the parent plant. Next years strawberry season should be a good one, with at least twice as many plants producing.

[img_assist|nid=225|title=|desc=|link=node|align=right|width=113|height=150]This here is my husband. The hero of last night. Why is he a hero? Well, Mercedes was having a rough time sleeping last night (around midnight. She had been asleep previous to that) and I could not get her to sleep. I tried laying down with her, rocking her, holding her in the feeding position (while she sucked on a bottle (only occasionally), and ignoring her (while she was in her cot). None of it worked. Then he came to the rescue. I am not quite sure what he did, but he did turn off his tennis, soothe the baby then leave her in her cot until she started fussing again and then soothed her again. I think he only had to do it about three times. If he hadn't stepped in then I doubt I would have gotten much sleep that last night. So, thanks again hubby! You saved my night!

Well she doesn't have chicken pox. It is possibly some viral rash. Our doc doesn't know what it is. Merc isn't eating or drinking and I am thinking her throat is sore also. Time to attempt the paracetamol I think.

I like this, it makes me feel better about this house (which was spotless 2 days ago, compared to what it normally is)
