Daisy day!

First of all, this blog is going to be about daisies.

Second of all, it is my first blog ever, so you're talking to an amateur here folks.

Third of all, gardening is awesome. I love flowers, growing vegetables, anything to do with gardening. I might not have the greenest thumb on the planet, but it is definitely not for lack of trying. I had an herb garden last summer. RIP herb garden. Got infested with little gnats/fruit flies/the most annoying little creatures on earth. But, back to the love. Seriously, I WAS the president of the nature club when I was 8. Granted, this was a club, started by me, in my own backyard. But we had 4 members. And it was my backyard, so of course I was prez. We tried to grow a lot of different kinds of plants. I distinctly remember strawberries and some sort of squash that took over the yard. I digress. The point of this is that I love gardening and flowers. So, how lucky am I that I have found someone who loves to give me flowers? He doesn't give me flowers all the time, but every now and then, in the perfect little unsuspecting moment, he surprises me and I get the biggest smile on my face.

Two days ago, Jake surprised me with beautiful yellow daisies when I got home from work. He even planted them in our Royals popcorn tub and jimmy-rigged this contraption to let them sit outside on the windowsill of the loft (and even though the worry-wart inside of me wants to think it's going to fall 5 stories down, I know it's not, because that is one SERIOUS contraption that is not going anywhere). They are beautiful and full of buds and thriving in the window. I love these daisies and the man behind them. :)

Fourth and final, I am going to try to figure out how to post a picture of the flowers for the blog world to see. You'll be impressed, you know it (by the beauty of the flowers and the beauty of my ridiculous technological skills). Get excited!!!
