it looks like when it blooms up on the screen so you can see it but anyway it came with this beautiful tag that had the name of the rose so that which i think is such a great idea in fact we took a picture of the steak and send it to proven winners and we were like you need to do this so whenever anybody orders a plant they get the steak that's appropriate for that plant and then you can always have your things identified out in the garden it was like an engraved one so it won't wear out and wear off and it was really beautiful so anyway Laura thank you so much for for sending that out her YouTube channel is how's it growing so in New Jersey anyway that's it for this mail time video there were a ton of things that were sent which we always appreciate it's very sweet of you guys to think of us and just like all the little things that you run across like the Victorian papers or you know the little fairy garden things or the decorative rocks are I mean all the things that you guys send out is just that make us make you think of us is just so sweet because I don't know I just I was telling somebody today like if you would have told me five years ago that I'd be sent sitting down opening up boxes from people all over the land I would never have believed you it's just been such an amazing write an amazing time and you guys we are just revving up here at our house in terms of projects I'm looking out at the new property our flower garden space is all tilled up I still haven't had a chance to plant anything yet because I didn't know how extensive it was to get things set up on new land like there are so many people that you need to use to get like I mean two did not use but to schedule with to do their part so wait you know trench has been dug we had to get electric run and water pipes run and we had to wait on Idaho power our power to connect to our new like electric that we had run and then we have to have the landscape guy back out to come run the water to our garden area which I'm hoping is done this week I don't know it'll be an interesting year I kind of set my standards pretty low as per like what I was gonna be able to grow out there cuz I've already had to skip all of my early flowers so I won't be able to plant them because it's just getting too hot already so anyway I don't know why I got on that tangent other than we have a ton of beautiful blooming stuff out in our greenhouse and we're just working away on on projects except on windy days like this we've got one greenhouse project done and then I just told Aaron I just think it's too windy to be outside so anyway hey TMI thank you guys so much for sending all this stuff super appreciate it you guys are awesome we love you hope you have a great week and we will see you in the next video bye
